In essence the upgrade of Kenya's military hardware is critical. The F5's (even though they have major upgrades) are no match to the SU's recently acquired by +256 but due to the expenses involved I may somehow understand the purchase of the Jordanian F5's. Kenya has an Army, Navy and Airforce to sustain which in comparison to Uganda which has a tiny naval force just for the Lake.

Uganda's acquisition of the modern air fleet was tactical and also somewhat egotistical in my opinion. Their recent discovery of oil has boosted their ego and M7 foresee themselves being a regional power hence need to upgrade their military assets.

Kenya will be forced to upgrade their arsenal at some point but it will be at a high cost and definitely it wont be any time soon. With the current war, elections around the corner and the devolution process will drain the Treasury. Let's hope the development and competition between the counties will be able to raise the country's GDP and eventually raise necessary resources... Plus the MP's walipe ushuru!!
