I think the Kenyan cables are going to be explosive since the US ambassador has even apologized even before they start coming in...
So far only 281 out of 251,287 have been uploaded on the Cable Viewer: cablegate.wikileaks.org
I am looking at the harare leak and I am wondering...If that is what they had to say about Mugabe in Harare...I wonder what they said about our leaders...
So we are eating with someone whom we think he's our friend and in real sense, he's looking at our eating habits ready to tell our neighbours!!! Damn US Ambassador
Wikileaks or not, our (kenyan) system is so rotten. I don't see anything new that wikileaks is likely to reveal. If I was not Kenyan (such that my blood too is rotten Kenyan style), I'd say the same things about Kenya that the American would.
Let me pose this to you guys: Is what the Americans say more profound and damaging than all the scandals our leadership is "shitting" (accommodating)on? Scandal after scandal, commission of inquiry after another and nothing happens - is that the way we want it?
Is that what makes us proud, that now we can say words as Solomon Mburu is?
Wash, I concur with you. I was basing my argument on the diplomatic role the US Ambassador should be playing. Not acting as a spy master for Obama and Hilary. There is not much proud things we can talk about since 2002 we've had so many scandal than ever. How the hell did Sonko get clearance from CID and NSIS to contest the Makadara seat? {These two agents provide Certificate of Good Conduct FYI!} Who are the Artur brothers, and what did Michuki (the Minister not Mwirigi) mean by saying *if you rattle a snake be ready to get bitten? *Didn't parliament create a 'constitutional crisis' whenever the parliamentarians feel there space is threarened? The list is endless, thus eating out our pride as a nation.
Let us stop pretending. Kenya is worse already than wikileaks can make it.
Nothing is new in the leaks, just a confirmation of the matters at hand!
Right now, we know that HM, WK, HJ, MS, KM etc are drug barons and noone wants to name them, leave alone get them arrested. Same musical chairs as usual...
What else can be worse than it already is??
Nothing unless Kiraitu changes keeps his promise of regulating petrol {by the end of the week} that oil cartels have taken advantage of the (regulatory) hiatus in place.
