Kenya to Acquire Sh25 Billion Military Choppers from the US amid Calls for Austerity

With what money?

Kenya is broke that why they increase fuel VAT by 8%. How will they pay. More taxes

We spend billions in arms and ammunitions to fight Al-Shabab. But, where and how do these poor boys get AK 47 and other lethal weapons which they use to slaughter our Innocent people? The military industrial complex is our true enemy in the war with terrorists. When Al-Shabab terrorists are caught by our defense forces, the weapons retrieved from them are identical to our soldiers' government issued weapons.(same with Boko-Haram in West Africa) How is that? Has the United Nations Security Council resolution 2370 (2017) failed? At the center of most wars is money, tones of money, and that's why we are paying sh.25 billion of our hard earned money to keep the game going. How come our leaders (African) have never moved a specific United Nations resolution demanding that the military industrial complex cease and desist from selling any arms and ammunitions to the terrorist groups and their agents. And that the same said military industrial complex would be held responsible each time any of their weapons of war are found in the hands of terrorists. Either that or we keep fighting the endless war-chasing our own shadows with our own money. And remember, each time we weep and cry in a funeral procession going to bury our loved ones; victims of terrorism, the military industrial complex are laughing all the way to the bank. Remember: Al-Shabab without AK 47 and other western made weapon= no terrorism.

These jalopies in the air will be shot down easily. US sold the same to Afghanistan and they are all packed on tarmac there. No use at all.

Ndugu @Mwororo:

Yote uliyoyasema ni ya kweli. Nimesema mara nyingi ya kwamba, tunaishi katika dunia isiyo na huruma. Usipotunza na kuilinda akili yako 24/7, itatumiwa na mtu mwingine kwa manufaa yake na pia kwa raha zake mwenyewe.

Afrika ni maabara (laboratory) dunia nzima. Ndiyo sababu kila kikundi chote duniani kilico na uwezo wa pesa kinakuja Afrika kusambaza (spread) maoni yake au msimamo wake kwa manufaa yake.

Kwa nini tunaendelea kukubali kutumiwa ovyo na dunia nzima? Binafsi nafikiria ya kwamba, hatuna msimamo "IMARA" ambao dunia nzima inauheshimu! Kwa hiyo tunatumiwa kama karatasi ya kamasi (kleenex) au karatasi ya kutumia baada ya kwenda haja kubwa (toilet paper) na dunia nzima.

SULUHISHO:

Ni lazima tubadilishe mtaala (curriculum) wetu wa masomo na kutilia mkazo MASOMO YA SAYANSI NA TEKNOLOJIA. Pili, ni lazima tupige marufuku dini zote za kigeni.
