Mr. Masukuma, we Africans are in a hard spot.

Their gava often just decides for us. They have already decided many things for the African and will continue to decide many things for the African.

For example, They have already introduced a resolution in their Congress that calls for, among other things, expanding the number of regional forces in Africa to 'protect civilians especially children' in the light of the Kony video that they also produced.

Poor Ugandans! They are livid about this, but what can they do about it? They have not asked for 'increased numbers of forces to protect civilians especially children'....but they are coming!

And this gesture is for us also by extension, for Africom is not for Ugandans only. Kony and LRA is just the right excuse they needed. They will just decide to 'protect civilians' where is appropriate when time comes and you know what that means.

What shall we do?

We do what we do best. Politics is our opium. We get high on it when we want to escape the bitter truths, then we create Konys.

Then the west comes......and call it a good thing.....

@masukuma..true...Africans and any society for that matter should not expect any other outside societies to think for them.
As long as Africans dont embrace meritocracy whereby only the best brains do the thinking, we will be faced by alot of problems.

The Judiciary has led in this area-i heard an advert on KISS FM calling for ideas on how to improve the Courts. KUDOS to whoever came up with this method.

I saw Ministry of Finance also trying out the crowd sourcing of ideas during the creation of 2012/2013 budget using email and social media.

Only when African leaders embrace meritocracy and understand no one is a monopoly of ideas is when systems that crowd source info that can assist African leaders in decision making will be created.

@masukuma..asante

If Kenya can embrace meritocracy, resources will be enough to share out to everybody, sounding the death knell for tribalism and poor leadership.

Kenyans are tribal due to the fight for scarce resources.

Resources are scarce due to leadership not embracing merit in positions.

Unmerited leaders then sign contracts that result in a raw deal for Kenya hence poverty leading to more tribalism.

Apart from the Judiciary on their KISS FM quest for ideas and Ministry of Finance 2012/2013 crowdsourcing for ideas through facebook and twitter, i haven't seen any other govt body utilizing this method.

You are right...I have deen reading the posts on the said conspiracy and I was motivatad to post one with a slightly different opinion. I stil don’t quote understand why the thread is generating so much heat, while the leaked documint contents is very clear and straight forward… That we are being scrowed from within and without right on our fery noses!!! The typos in that document are irrelavant. Who says the whete man cannot make typographical mislakes? For your information, the black man’s writing skills in foreign language is more superior to the indigineous speakers of the language.

Me point is that the leaked document which made Britain dispatch a high ranking official in her gavernment to come to Nairobi to talk to our President is authentic, otherwise the Qoeen would not have wasted any time and money over a forged document. The uctions of the Queen by sending the envoy means she thought that we were so smatt or she would want to know how deep our stupidity and ignorance goas…

As for the author, there as something that you are not supposet to know in the document. It goes deeper than you read and thank…The authar of the document wanes you to believe and fight over what you are scrapping from the surface while he is laughing and cocking champagne in the background while he/she knows that him/her 99.99% of the content cannot be deciphered…

Very simple!!!!!

Interesting sober debate

We may be having a new generation of puppet leaders in Africa, or so says this commentator...puppets link
