KQ/KAA merger
Can I call this queer?
Well I don't know. This is something that is peculiar to Kenya.
I find the do or die rescue of Kenya Airways to be just about pride
and nothing else. Why should the Kenyan public be forced to pull up
a corporation whose management has refused to style up?
Exactly what kind of winds is the airline facing?
Sugar sector is out
Maize farming is not profitable any more
Kenya imports poultry and fish
Textile industries are long dead
Coffee sector is long ailing
Now, just how many lives have been affected negatively
by going south of all these sectors?
As strategic as the Kenyan Airline may be, if it were to die
I don't think its effect will be as great as it is being projected.
Tourists, especially from the West, are very proud of their own flag
carriers. So their coming to Kenya is not really pegged on KQ.
By the way, you only have to sit for a few hours at the Mama Ngina
promontory, and witness scores of foreign ships cleave hot the
waters of Likoni channel as they call the port of Mombasa, for you
to wonder about the gigantic economic opportunity that continues to
be missed. Kenya has no shipping line. Why is this this then not a
matter of every day concern and priority.
If indeed, KQ was a strategic institution, why allow it come to the edge
in the first place. All workers have a right to picket and intimidation
o f them should be discouraged. Employees are more important than
any finances or real assets.
Is there any targeting of specific group of people, ethnically or politically?
African politics is like war.
You bring your men, I bring my men.
If every time my men are being short at, while yours are only threatened
then I have every reason to claim that my troupes are getting a raw deal.
In a political reading therefore, the URP wing of the Jubilee party is
being targeted.
Financial scandals appear to be erupting right at their feet.
Lets bid every matter time, hopefully, stuff will be resolved.
Those who are sick about the possible succession of Pres. Kenyatta
by his deputy William Ruto have been eager to paint him black.
There is a growing feeling that only one man is perpetrating corruption
inside government.
Other camapigns such as the "curse of the vice presidents"
- which highlight the failure of past vice presidents to rise to presidency,
have also been served to the public many times.
So one wonders why would anybody compare Joseph Murumbi or Goerge
Saitoti to William Ruto?
The dragon has many heads and I assume that all can eat or bite.
For instance, what was the wisdom of allocating billions for a dam
in such an area as Elgeyo where no major river flows through.
The legislature has repeated the NYS scandal here.
Sadly, it looks like the politics for 2022 are in full throttle now.
What does this mean?
There will be no legacy for Jubilee administration
