My view is this: every major installation/building/business needs an emergency management plan that would be integrated with security, emergency services (ambulance, etc.) ... The government (county, etc.) should actually make this a condition for licensing for such facilities as malls, critical infrastructure, etc. (NB: I mentioned this to a colleague and he skeptically retorted that we Kenyans love regulations/laws/rules/etc. as each presents an opportunity for the enforcer to "eat" ...)</span></div><div><span></span> </div><div><span>Hindsight is
always 20/20 but my guess is that losses could have been worse for KDF as they are NOT trained to do policing. I also think that the police, in the end, could have done a better job. That is contentious though as we cannot re-enact the events of the tragedy.</span></div><div> </div><div>I am hoping that, as part of the lessons learnt, authorities will put together a set of experts to help craft strategies, plans and roadmaps towards better emergency management. It is the least we can do as part of managing our risks.</div><div><font size="2"><span style="font-family: times, serif;">----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</span><br style="font-family: times, serif;"></font><font size="2"><span style="font-family: times, serif;">Matunda Nyanchama, PhD, CISSP; mnyanchama@aganoconsulting.com</span><br style="font-family: times, serif;"><span style="font-family: times,

<br>Daktari,<br><br>We are technophobes how do you stop this and get people to embrace technology especially those of us who believe that
having a high end phone makes them techno savvy.<br><br>Today as we discuss the laptop for class one in the west children are being given rasberry pi and other single board devices to encourage them to get involved in coding while we train ours on using packages.<br>
<br>It scares me that I am a member of this industry and everyday I wonder if I might be more useful to this nation as a farmer or maybe even just the administrator of an eco-choo at least then my contribution will receive instant recognition.<br>
<br>We are producing a nation of high level users yet no one is trying to reverse the trend, we no longer have mechanics but fitters, we no longer have implementers but installers, we no longer have lecturers but regurgitators, we no longer have manufactures but traders. I remember a message by a former Indian Ambassador to Kenya who said that no nation has ever industrialized without heavy industry.<br>
<br>The drone in the video is today what
children are playing with as toys many supplied as do it yourself kits, Boeing have recently retrofitted an F-16 Jet to be operated fully by remote control while we deal with a hostage situation as we did with the Ngoroko.<br>
<br>Will we see the inzi introduced or even just a blimp for crowd control in the near future?? I strongly doubt it as we do not have the will or intent to leave a mark when we leave and that is sad.<br><br>Regards<br><br>
PS.? As you return to academia let us hope you will work to remedy this institutionalized mediocrity that we keep rewarding and feting.<br><br>?<br>Robert Yawe<br>KAY System Technologies Ltd<br>Phoenix House, 6th Floor<br>
