Quote:Speaking on Thursday, Aukot said he is “really disappointed” in the team that his panel selected to steer forward and execute the mandate of the election body. linkConventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.

There is a large fraction of Kenyans who would have wished to make an independent choice of their polling centers. Restricting registration to where you will vote implies they have to spend enormously for the journey home. Not to mention absence from work which employers will not tolerate. These issue could easily be cured through re-configuring the BVR kits. Why should such a simple thing cost the economy so much?

Because your living in Nairobi is temporary (work- subject to transfer, search for work) with no investments while shags is permanent with actual investment to boot.

Am not surprised that you can't appreciate the big picture here. Conventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.
