@Mugunda, the "national" campaign is used only when convenient. Like what happened in the Coca Cola saga. But the best example case is the current crying of local contractors that Chinese firms are getting all the road construction jobs.
Personally, they are doing a good job after years of Kenyan companies raking billions from bogus roads and in some cases getting paid when the roads haven't been built.
I think Kenyans are starting to see that some of our "big businesses" just ride on the largesse of the government which is basically robbing the tax payer.

@Mtublack, kwani who awarded the concession? Thought it was the Kenya and Uganda governments. What role did these international organisations play?

Act 3 Scene 1: AG, Muthaura summoned over railway deal extension to appear before PIC

Truth is more interesting than fiction. This thing is about to get very political. Maybe @KulaRaha's intonation was correct.

This Sheltam guy Mr. Puffet came and cunningly took over our railways!!! Its no wonder Mwakwere was the minister in charge. Two years down the line, it is more worse than before the concession. On that, he conned us morealso hiring the so called expatriates who earned billions of shillings for running down RVR. After the experience we had for the period he was the lead investor, its time to be kicked away and new blood takes over to do a turn around a view also held by Transcentury. Infact i like their proposition of teeming up with Helios capital and a Brazilian railway management firm to offer a turnaround firm that will invest $50 million in 60 days to rescue the concession as opposed to Puffet + Citadel's + Chris Mbwire's plan to invest $20 million in 90 days.
Parting shot: Given a second chance, Puffet will device a savvy plan to outwit and con us again.
