The problem usually is when you are flagged down, you have no idea whether it is for an order or a request and you have to assume it is an order and stop. But when you stop and it turrns out to be a request, you are entitled to decline.

But please help these kenyans, they are poorly remunerated and are working for you - always also remember that 90% of them are honest citizens.


Very well said Gordon.It can't be any clearer.Applause

Damn it Gordon. I hate it when you are this crystal clear and succinct.

The other month a friend and I had been out in Nanyuki, on the way back home the car broke down. We were lucky enough to get a lift home by the police, and the next day they brought our car back, working. I am all for giving the police a lift!

Mmmmm!!!? Maybe vision 2030.d'oh!

Was hit by a drunk driver some few years ago and when I went to report I was given a notice of intention "to prosecute" by a very arrogant OB policeman.
