@Rad!
Wake up. Ofcourse you and I (hassler?) are "past the mentality of thats how it has always been". But believe you me, you would see it differently when you will one day sit on the "greener" side of life :-)

But surely
we are past the mentality of "that's how it has always been done".
Given that the bid bond is 500,000,
and a bid bond is usually a fraction of the budget, how much money are we spending airlifting speeches where a simple PDF attachment to email will suffice? Especially given we are complaining about runaway government spending?

Worse still if the US can listen to our Presidents conversation (good to know we are the league of German Prime Minister :-), what is it we are trying to hide in a presidential speech that would be public knowledge before the end of the day :-)
This question came up in a previous ConnectedKenya summit in Mombasa but was never convincingly answered. But I think the answer is simple. There has been a budget to airlift the presidents speech since independence. What has been changing is not the technology, but who gets (eats?) that budget
:-)
