Kingori,
Saw the story on NTV, I guess the unreliable undependable source just racked up credibility points. Larry Madowo that was a great piece.
Well according to insiders all C-level positions should be filled within a week. Sounds like the decision has been made already, it takes longer to decide between pasta and noddles.

If Bob has to perform, then he has to let go of the top management (especially) with stiff competition and harder times ahead, he needs guys who appreciate cost cutting and strategy that keeps the company competitive. The management there now were employed when sf started and they have the "monopoly" mindset and that is why they still run back to govt when competition gets stiff.
