http://www.nation.co.ke/...4/-/ujr7c6/-/index.html If the flight they are taking had only the Kenyan delegation and it disappeared somewhere in the high seas,the world will not mourn much....

Our leaders are behaving like big babies just like when we were in school and we wanted to go for every school trip in the pretext of being cheering squad! They should grow up and stop wasting our hard earned cash.

What we should really analyze is the necessity to attend the UN function......I wouldn't mind even if the speech was seconds!!!


The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.

@mag***,was also thinking about the high seas & the joyriders,but not as loud as you. I'm not a sadist but......

@ Magigi i have attended many UN meetings and to state that a minister's alloted a time of presenting his speech is 5 minutes is very unfortunate and ignorance of the highest order. Usually delegations are alloted five minutes to present their speech or exercise a right of reply,but where such delegation consist of high level representation such as a minister or a head of state then he or she is given an opportunity to address such august body( what this means is the time limits are discarded with)

yes i would agree on the second point that the high number of ministers going to Geneva is a waste of tax payers money.
