yap! separate thread. but before we move there: several assumptions: 1: that military procurements are a one man show. 2: that little involvement is engaged with the downstream operators. 3: that the decisions are as misguided as claimed. 4: That our needs as an economy need to be met first before procurement of military hardware. The only thing i can say, KDF are secretive... Thats why local "experts" can rant about their choices and call them names and all. but as i said, look at what real military experts out there are talking about Kenyas military. Thats all.. (In fact No need for separate thread, go look for LPG)!. On Mon, Dec 19, 2011 at 2:49 PM, aki <aki275@gmail.com> wrote:
@Areba, Appreciating what the military does is important and as always a debate-able view but since the guys/ladies on the ground are not in procurement, they would have no say. They would be the real people to say how far a hummer can take them on a single full tank compared to say a landrover with similar capacities when in a dangerious area of operations. Is an armoured landrover less reliable than a hummer? I doubt it very much. And where did we find the funds to buy a hummer, support its operational costs and keep the guzzler on the move when we cannot even sustain the basic essentials of the economy? ( maybe a seperate thread? )
Would like to keep this thread on the 2011 code/developers top 50 kist for KE.
