Retract nothing.
Call it how you see it. And if people take offence, well too bad. I am a advocate and just the other day we were protesting attempting to reclaim our very black bar from the disgrace it had become. With notably few exceptions, corruption, incompetence and a lack of dedication to duty permeate almost every sector of Kenyan life. These issues are systemic and I cannot imagine that the rot and incompetence in bar- bench circles has antiseptically avoided the ICT sector.
I am with you Douglas. We saw an Attorney General with a PhD say “The failure of the electronic system is almost guaranteed, because that is the nature of the electronics.” and a former respected Cabinet Minister say "We are at war with al-Shabaab who are known to interfere with communication systems. The Ministry fully recommends a manual backup system," .... "I support full electronic process in future but we also need a back-up. We need an optional system," he said. You wonder what will change in the future ... or the candidates will be different? These statements belong to the birds. Tragedy is they were made by smart people. Smart people who have been hijacked by vested interests. The case of who pays the piper calls the tunes. ______________________ Mwendwa Kivuva, Nairobi, Kenya twitter.com/lordmwesh
