Tell me about it. Second day of the week, second power cut, KPLC know of nothing - ideal conditions for a company that publishes online content. <br><br>I liked Mugo Kibati's quote in the FT - if you can't get power and sanitation to a plot, then Vision 2030 won't happen. <br>

Bashir<br><br>Grace,<br>Our media too needs to set the agenda right. Much of what David wrote was<br>heavily influenced from what he read in foreign media. Earlier I made a<br>comparison between what happened in Daffur and in Congo. In 2003 some 5<br>
million people died in the Congo. You may recall the Banyamulenge<br>atrocities inside Congo but in spite the fact that there were indictable<br>people by ICC, the issue was brushed under the carpet.<br><br>Congo is a mineral rich country with a government that hadly know what is<br>
going on in their country. Some people want it that way. Below see a quote<br>from the Financial Times and see why I made that conclusion.<br><br>"Given the muted response to the evolving fiasco in Congo, there is<br>
much less international appetite for outrage, or even for an accurate<br>count. Western countries are less enchanted with Mr Kabila than they<br>were in 2006, when he won a UN-supervised election, promising to bring<br>peace and economic recovery. He has done neither.<br>
<br>But unlike Mr Ouattara in Ivory Coast, Mr Tshisekedi does not enjoy<br>significant backing from anyone outside the Congo.<br><br>He is his own man. That is one reason a large number of Congolese<br>persist in believing that he might turn things round. At 78, he is<br>
representative of a generation of opposition leaders who dedicated<br>decades to the fight against dictatorship. Most, including Mr Gbagbo<br>have proved disastrous in government."<br><br><br>You cannot be your own man in Africa if you need the support of Western<br>
countries. This is a worrying statement and confirms that our media has<br>largely failed in setting the African agenda and begin to influence the rest<br>of the world.<br><br>Virtually all mineral rich African countries are at war from the west to<br>
central and eastern Africa. Is is a coincident?<br><br><br>Ndemo.<br><br><br><br>Sent from my BlackBerryR<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: Grace Githaiga <<a href="mailto:ggithaiga@hotmail.com" target="_blank">ggithaiga@hotmail.com</a>><br>
