   I really need to re-think my profession…thus far being a kenyan minister ranks top of the list. What with all the benefits…steal, steal with others, take year long vacations(with/without pay who cares after all you can return to continue)..Woow - Where do i fill out my application?

   Issue gone away = Resolved [What! Really!? You're joking!]

   — - OR - -

   Issue gone away = Issue gone away [...and poof! Just like that, it's gone.]

   Just how often is there a “Yes” that truly terminates that process?

    Lol! You forget that the majority of Kenyan’s have a very short memory. Which is why we were constantly being reminded that “I have only one Wife, Lucy and these are my children. This is my son called… er, er, called….”

    Which is why that flowchart works so well. The issue gets forgotten cause politics is just a soap opera. (Only worse).

    This is so true, all African countries…is there any hope?

    M, great job. I would update your chart: There is no {end} state. If {issue gone away?} is yes, add { start another scandalous project } and loop back. There is never an {end} state in kenya.

    Someone said the other day that “Americans are a nation of whiners”. But in reality, i look at these comments (e.g. kenya.fm, savvy, seinlife, Nakeel ) and think, “Kenyans are the greatest whiners and do nothings”

    Why? Americans complain but take steps to solve known problems. Kenyans complain, but do not lift a finger to change a thing. (For example, we say alcohol is ruining youngster, but no body thinks there should be a limit on the 24hr bar policy or age-limit to purchase of liquor.) Only John Githongo is a man in Cenya. Willing to leave the trappings of power and mbecha because he believes in something.

    you know this is what the West tries to do as well, only that the executive branch is in serious check from judicial and parliamentary branches so they don’t get away with it!

    of course except G.W.Bush’s administration whose level of corruption is way up there.

    Are you certain that after the silence, commission, time passing the issues slide under?Thats a Kenyan mentality to wish things away until people take up arms and anger explodes.Reminds me of the tale of a warthog and an electric fence…never seems to get it!

    Things always slide under my friend! Goldenberg, Anglo Leasing, The MPs and Koinange Street, etc etc

    Lol! But you can remove “African Edition” from the title, this goes world wide…

    [...] individual would be surprised at the news that Amos Kimunya is back in cabinet! After all, I even drew a diagram explaining how things work in this neck of the woods. Reacquaint yourself with it at your [...]
