[kictanet] Yes, we have failed the nation yet again?

[robert yawe]

Listers,

As expected we retreat back to the comfort of our keypads and allow another opportunity to make a change pass as slowly by.

Regards

OK, Ms. Lizette, will be more positive, and desist from travel advisories to the West, where Africans are not welcome :)

Stanley,
>Please desist from going into making remarks such as "racist travel advisories wil be made"".  Although it would not be a good thing for the other countries to issue advisories, they are NOT doing it based on racism, but concern for the safety of their country men and women.

>>About two years ago, a senior immigration officer explained to me the organizational systems to contain the current situation "with evil foreign elements" existed in Kenya, well over 20 years ago. Instead, we ignored existing governance systems and sold out in the early nineties. He noted, we have smart youth who have grown up in Kenya, who come for passports without proper identification papers after schooling in institutions like Starehe. Their parents are not truly Kenyan, and the youth are torn between Kenya and other nations.

>>As for the police, let us not forget, it is 15 years now, since there was a terrorist attack of this magnitude in Kenya. They just need to be better equipped. Earlier this year, some police at the station with closest access to Westgate, told me we need to plead with local and national leaders to prioritize upgrading their living conditions and equipment so they can work better.
