Hi Mark, How do you counter an opinion without tabling documents that are in your possession? I am of the opinion that for us to believe CA, the best CA can do is table the budgets for scrutiny - and I am assuming CA's budgets are public document. Is it?i Can we see those based on "freedom of access to information"?? Without tabling any hard facts to counter Jaindi's "opinion", even your setatement becomes just another opinion, IMHO. Since CA uses taxpayers money, please show us your budgets for the periods mentioned. Then we can take Jaindi to task to produce what he has. One of the two - CA and Jaindi - is telling the truth.

Wangusi’s woes may be about big bucks, giant projects at CA http://www.nation.co.ke/oped/opinion/Wangusi-woes-may-be-abo ut-big-bucks-giant-projects-CA/440808-4266268-xvtwap/index.html Listers this is worrying. There must be transparency at the CA. Who spends almost half a billion on laptops every year for so few staff?
