DOOMSDAY

This is one of those afternoons when despite having lots of reports to
write.... i have absolutely no incentive to get any of them off my desk.
Its that time of the year i.e. the END of the month of JANUARY. It surely
doesnt get worse. To make my incentive even less, our accountant decides
to bail and leaves his office in a mess, which office i must organise and
get running before his replacement checks in. Anyway... this is not the
forum to rumble. Lets talk Kenya.

The Planning Minister was the guest on Talkline on KTN yesterday and it
was quite an enlightening and interesting show. The week earlier, Louis
had interviewed Musikari Kombo and i wrote the Minister off. The guys
conceded with no sense of remorse that the City Council is bila records
for auditors- internal or external to prepare any sort of balance sheet
or profit/loss statement and Kombo didnt have any serious strategy. It
was depressing. So last night when Anyang Nyongo, the Full Proff! was
hosted by Luois, the Government came out standing head high. He had
concrete solutions (well convincing would be the better adjective) and he
had full grasp of various developmental projects that the country has
going on right now. He vibed us bout donor programs, absorption capacity
of the country of donor funds, Millenium Development Goals, the works. I
was pretty impressed, actually saw a future for the country. The thing
that jazzed me most was his closing remark that Kenyans should quit this
Doomsday attitude that they have ati our economy is sinking lower and
lower as if the world would end in Kenya only! He challenged us to get up
and start working even harder for the benefit of our children, in the
even that the fruits of our labour take that long. Pretty encouraging
show it was!

Now, its finally 4pm and i need to drag myself to campus. Wish there was
a payroll for attending classes!

Do have an inspired week... but i still dont think i want the olympics in
Kenya :)
