[kictanet] [Skunkworks] <OT> : No Electricity, No Fuel, No Cooking gas! I need my hot coffee or need some answers.....

[Lizette Kraft]

Well said Bwana Ndemo. You have hit the nail on the head. Kenyans talk
about using Kenyans, buy Kenyan. But the work is always shoddy, no matter
what sector of business, the products are produced sub-standard. The other
problem is that we as the citizens don't really have an avenue to vent and
try and make a difference. It sometimes works when issues are put in the
press, but not enough to make the difference.

What do we do then??? It is a truly sad and frightening place our Kenya at
this time. We have to really pray for our country and leaders and even for
us that should get up and make a difference. To be bold and allow God to
lead us ahead. Those with integrity should think about standing for
parliament and country posts and that would be the first step in change.

cheers
Lizette
