Limousines

the rejection by kibaki of the limousines is a good development, albeit too little too late.

lets not dampen the gesture, lets encourage it, and as we do, we remind bwana kibaki that his fleet as is is still too huge, and the cost for maintenance is prohibitive. he can do more, he can sell some of them for public good

the waste of national resources on running the affairs of individuals and offices that could use lesser strenuous resources is endemic in this country

consider a situation where in some countries ministers have no elaborate security detail because since they are public servants, they are under no threat from anybody.

those kenyan ministers who are resisting the move are petty and wasteful. kibaki and raila, in restructuring the cabinet to fit the 24 number proposed by the ag (i hope it is not a "reformist" prank), can consider removing them from office.

come to think of it, i took my 1290cc limousine out this last week end, 170 kms out of nairobi and back, and spend about shs 1,500 on fuel! this means that i spend slightly below kshs 5 on fuel per kilometer! ... i deliberately will not say anything about tear and wear or the body work... but...does the government want to borrow it for official functions?
