After the many complaints guys made about security and the genuine security concerns,it was in order for the Minister for Internal security to set aside the day. Sometimes,lets learn to appreciate that the government can not be all bad.
You see,up to 10 pm most people (neighbours e.t.c) will still be awake and therefore the risk of insecurity is significantly reduced. Then the bulk of the enumeration will be done on Tuesday from 6 a.m to 10 p.m and after that kidogo kidogo mpaka end month.
A lot has gone into this exercise and suppose Tuesday newspaper reports by our irresposible media bore reports of security breaches,the success of the exercise in the remaining days would have been seriously compromised,because even those who would otherwise open their doors to enumeration teams would rather stay under lock and key. Remember,inspite of all the criticism and skepticism about the exercise,some valid and most baseless,it is our money and so if efforts are made to ensure maximum possible value for the Kshs. 7.4 billion,kwa nini nyef nyef nyef nyingi?
Even a professional CBA would give the holiday a Nike. and if I may ask you Tusker8,will a 1 day holiday lead to an economic loss of 7.4 billion bob? And I may wish to inform you that the 7.4 billion isn't going to the Caymans rather its circulating within Kenya; read purchase of torches,BIC pens,pencils,erasors,Eveready batteries,chalk,fuel,and allowances-which will end in Nakumatt,bars,school fees e.t.c
But once the results of the census are marred by interruptions in the enumeration,the Kshs. 7.4 billion is a good as gone down the sewer.
Simama uhesabiwe na uwache siasa nyingi. Siasa mbaya maisha mbaya!
We tenda wema kisha wende zako. Usinipe macho ya kutarajia shukrani!!!
