My man up there. Man of the people.Why cant he run for presidency?? Yes let them strike. Washezi!! I fully fully Infact Kenya is the only country in the East with high fuel prices! and the oil going to those other countries passes through Kenya!!! Now that is not fair. Strike and strike good. You have my support! The doctors did it and the goverment responded The postal workers are having there's as well.They demand a salary increase. I am sure somebody will reward them. Now its a people's strike! I am loving these strikes cz they are not violent and the goverment is reacting. Lets see if its Kimutai vs Atwoli. strike strike strike. The roads will be soo clear. |

pendo89:First of all I know you saw what I typed about you over on the Romance board but we'll leave that for another day. |

I think I did but I try as much as possible to avoid replying to personal comments cz some very crazy people roam the place and are ready to pick up a well intentioned comment then proceed to rubbish it or make a mountain out of it. Its soo uncivilised and childish. It's crazy how the gover has been blaming the weakening of the shilling for the sharp rise in fuel costs. Unfortunatley I know nothing about Gej. (not 9ija) And even though they blame external factors, Tanzania faces the same yet their prices have remained constant at less than a dollar! Its just policy and formulation. we have gotten used to daily adjustments messing up our budgets. |

pendo89:I understand, there are a ton of nut cases on the net. I wasn't trying to make you feel uncomfortable, or ask for your hand and heart in marriage, I just made an statement to address something you said that affected my consciousness very deeply. Expressing oneself without being crass or undignified is always civilized. |

Afro_Blue: I am mature enough to understand that. It happens and I can also tell u that some stories here relate to situations I have personaly dealt with or come across. Kenya is the most vibrant economy in the East.You are correct.Its strategic location gives it advantage over the others in the region esp in term of accessibility. |

Re: Kenyan Transport Strike by pendo89(f): 3:34pm On Dec 19, 2011 |
^ yeah. But that was the whole plan. To get the citizens wrath worked up and cause them to point fingers at the goverment. I have a feeling it will be pushed till Jan.The worst time when schools reopen. Have u ever been to Kenya? |

@pendo89 The peoples thoughts are in the right place. It isn't easy organizing mass movements. It's difficult when one is living from paycheck to paycheck or from daily receipts of income to survive. Thus I put those words of universal wisdom about saving in my NL signature section. Kenyans have a good track record of coming together for change. The Mau Mau Uprising and and the efforts of the Honorable Sister Wangari Maathai are important templates. I'm working on getting on African soil and staying there. A childhood acquaintance made the move a while ago and there was no looking back.
