[kictanet] Bitange for President? Xenophobia

Tue Aug 16 23:14:04 EAT 2011

Michael,
If I were you I will head to Kisumu and find out for myself.  This will be a wonderful investigative journalist piece.  I will suppliment that with some films taken earlier that will make you feel bad about us and how we fuel poverty of our people.  You will get more than just evidence.

My "campaign" was to raise issues and propose what needs to be done.  Instead of putting me on trial, it may be prudent for you to discount my thesis statement.  That way you will do a great deal to our fellow Kenyans.

Ndemo.

Dr Ndemo et al:

This is a discussion that needs to continue.  And being part of the media, which this list has of late tended to disparage, I need two clarifications:

- Why are there no Tilapia in Lake Victoria from where I come from?

- Like Dr Ndemo has said in this post, are the Somali businessmen or "investors" silensing local  politicians and what's the eveidence?

Please let the experts in matters fisheries or marine come out and clear the air.

>Harry,
>Examine Robert's logic through his metaphor of how long a cow takes to die out of hunger.  If he meant that we should have seen it coming then he is a master of contradiction.
>
>What is happening around Lake Victoria must be stopped.  If indeed this were businessmen, then they need not spend money to silencing politicians. Infact some politicians speak like Robert.  "Our people are lazy".   This is a grave matter.  We cannot fight poverty by telling our people to compete in a 200 meter race when the vistors are starting at 100 meter spot (Capital unlimited) and we cannot vouch on the sources of their immense financial strength.
>
>The impact of excess liquidity in the market affects everyone through inflation and inflated property prices as well as rent.  You do not need an economist to tell you this.
>
>I do not blame Robert's puritanical reaction.  This is typical of us when we fail to look at a global picture.  If it wasn't the fact that the official "campaign" is over I would have spent more time on the economic implications of the issue at hand.
