Ati when foreign gunmen draw their weapons in the main airport it is a small matter in the big picture? what are you drinking my friend?

A govenment’s job is to govern and that includes delivering national security. If foreign clowns can pull such pranks at JKA then we are certainly no mach for the al zarqawis and bin ladens. Tena your privitizations and trickle down corruption mean sweet FA. We are not all activists. The looted stash abroad may actually be hidden by your “trivial clowns”.

If someone has made a mistake let them do the honourable thing and resign. Nobody is indipensable.

Amen

@ donworry- that was an apt querry for the thingumajig “what are you drinking my friend?” whatever he smokes is most def proscribed.
@joe-you fancy being an irritant, no? and verbose while at it. dont downplay whats cooking here. if the truth was to out, it will numb u, trust me.

ok you have some valid points . But let me let you in on the truth .it seems the papers have span a web of lies that are now being believed to be true .This are the small things that turn a die hard kanu man like myself into a narc kenya defender . lets begin with the KQ -america issue .

1. kenya airways last year withdrew its application to aquire land rights in the united states when negociations with the FAA broke down over the issues of kQs code sharing with KLM as part of the deal kq was being required to drop its european partners in exchange for access for a miami route.According to the faa allowing kq would have givem klm an unfair advantage over other airlines since it had a code sharing agreement with KQ(REF. http://bankelele.blogspot.com/2005/03/kenya-airways-says-no-miami.html) Other industry reports indicated that kQ opted out because the routes being offered were not profitable(http://newssearch.looksmart.com/p/articles/mi_m0CWU/is_2005_Feb_7/ai_n9489016).

2. On the korean front according to the korean ministry of finace the only travel advisory concerning africa is on on fishing vessals of the coast of somalia .

On both points one and two a little reaseach on the internet as well as pay attension to facts will show that the news reports that many kenyans keep repaeting as facts are lies .someone once said that everything you read in news papers isnt the true what shocks me is how much kenyan believe what they read .

Arturs body gaurds and stole materials found at the runda residence: i guess this is why people have been suspended and investigations are going on what elsecan i say . as for michukis advert in the paper i dont want to be drawn into such matter leaste we start accounting for even what kind of cerals our president eats for breakfast.may it turn out he has kellogs for breakfast at statehouse we would never hear the end of how abdi is starving because kibaki eats coco puffs . i think i have made my point with the kq fiasco/lies what is even more annoying if you ask me is the governments inability to correct the lies that are being unleashed against it . if anyone should be fired it should be mr mutua. mr kibira (presidential press service) and all those guys in state house who are sleeping on the job .its a shame that pur first lady has to defend the government when we have paid civil servants who are meant to be doing this job .

please check out the facts before believing everything you read this kq story is getting old .artur kibaki and this mess has nothing to do with kq flying to the states -read the sites i have posted )

@Joe – Careful there before you fall into your own trap. KQ apparently rejected Miami’s (MIA) offer to fly there 3 per week coz it is “not profitable” BUT you are forgetting that KQ was also negotiating with Atlanta at the time.

Could the “rejection” simply be a ploy for further discounts from MIA or ATL?
Further KQ has since opened up new W.African

Regardless of whether KQ found it profitable in 2005, they will eventually fly to the USA &/or Canada coz of the huge market esp now that KQ is a regional airline (Uganda, TZ, Rwanda, etc) which uses JKIA as a hub.

Simply, I do not agree with you! I said the fiasco at the airport will lead to a further delay in KQ’s expansion plans. I hope the Paris flights slated to commence in October are not affected!

Let’s address the other issues which you skipped.

Back to the Standard raid. What of the “lost” profits? Surely you don’t believe the photos of burning newspapers were “fake”… BTW, no newspaper spoke of lost profits or litigation costs but I am doing so of my own volition.

Regardless of Mutua’s incompetence – note the poor guy has little idea of what is going on coz its GIGO (Garbage In Garbage Out) – roocy shouldn’t have been slapping reporters. Anyone heard of assault?

And kibs should be eating Proctor & Allan cornflakes or Weetabix NOT Cocopuffs! After all if he can’t spend taxpayers’ funds on local goods why should other Kenyans?

Since you are or used to be a kanu hack, remember moi flew BA not KQ. If the idiot had supported KQ then there would be more KENYAN jobs! Then he buys a Fokker when the country’s poor are dying of hunger!

My contention is simple… the “special” treatment given to these arturs was at my cost! The additional costs expended on the artur saga is also at my cost!

I don’t give a camel’s ass if artur or kibs or michuki paid for it from their pockets! I had to pay for it & that pisses me off!

It seems we don’t really need civil servants to sweep stuff under the carpets if our own fellow countrymen can do it for free with links thrown in for good measure.

I must say that I am surprised at the off-hand and summary dismissal of fellow bloggers whilst applauding ati democratic space; michukiism if you ask me.

Do you really imagine that by weaving and spinning around to obscure the issues you can make this rattlesnakes messy diapers disappear just like that?

I might stick out my neck here and suggest that there is no law which states that “to know the difference between right and wrong is a privilege reserved for those with experience of government”

Strange things happen and perhaps one patriot will post a ka link here to prove me wrong………

People! The era of the freedoms of information and expression is surely here with us. The government should not and cannot even try to prevent it. Big Brother, sorry, you are behind the times. Big Brother, we are watching you.

@sidaki – uhmm, who?
- The media?
- The bloggers?
- michuki & kamau?
- The arturs?
