#canofworms I think the previous CEO was idolized for vavavuum and the fact that he took safcom from 0-100kph. For the next portion they need to shed of baggage and bring real solid performers.
@McD Love the Peter Principle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Principle For one of the guys am sure this was the case the other one not so sure.

And they still posted 19B profits? Or is that why they were able to post 19B profits I have another trail of thought, which is what people say about Moi. Was Moi the problem in his regime? or his lieutenants? :-) Coz now Safcoms new CEO is cleaning up......ama he is just detail oriented?
