@ mtaalam - I agree with you 110%! This RAO character is full of bullshit!!! You don't go blowing hot and cold if you purport to be a leader. Saying this,apologizing,overruling forestry officers who are just doing their work,cancelling deadlines,forming task forces,working commitees and all hell of shenanigans just to buy time!
On an earlier post,I had said only Raila and Michuki can get us out of this Mau mess. I had said I have trust in Raila to pull this off. Oh how wrong I was. This dude is just a politician who's planning to run for presidency in 2012 and all he does,he looks at his political well being first.
This Mau mess can't be sorted out by anyone running for presidency in 2012 so the Railas,Uhurus,Karuas,Rutos,Saitotis etc. should be kept a million miles from this issue. The current president - Kefaki.... don't even go there. We will be importing water from Saudi Arabia or Egypt long before he sorts this out! That leaves only one person - Michuki. If Kibaki and Raila were smart - and wanted to sort this mess - they should give Michuki their blessings and authority in private then keep off and not even comment on the issue and let Michuki do his thing! Peni mbili zangu.
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
