...did anybody watch this last night on KTN. I thought this was a very well done piece of reporting. There was something unique in it. I rarely find anything interesting to watch outside what I read. But this I watched. This one ws a masterpiece and I dont think I would be wrong to suggest that an international award awaits this story. I have watched Zain Verjee, Anampour etc but nothing they have done beats what this girl came up with. I read a story in this website by CK -'life is not a new car' and in there there is a quotation by robert Frost - "I took the road less travelled by, and that has made all the difference" I can't remember where in this website ...you must be completely idle and having acres of time to locate some things in this Wazua maze... The point is doing things differently makes all the difference!!!!

Good People,

I hardly watch KTN but yesternight I was flipping through the channels and landed on this feature where they smuggled an AK47 from Turkana to Nairobi. I could not help but ask myself why they would actually smuggle a gun and be proud of not getting caught, what purpose it serves me as a Kenyan knowing that someone can smuggle a gun undetected ( not news at all), So what do I do about it? get my own gun now that the police are not working? If the police were too stop all vehicles on Thika Rd to search for guns, that would be anarchy.

K24 had an equally useless feature on someone driving a car with a decoy detonator! What are these guys really upto?

I saw it but it did nothing to me. I completely do not care what KTN investigates anymore. The did a similar one on "bandarini "

and like kenyanbeef complained in post #23, there was simply no substance at all - whole thing was an anti-climax; noone was hongwad and later it turned out the whole tax on the whole consignment had been collected and the clearing agents fined. They became so incensed when the KRA fellas requested for proof of what they were saying, names of hongwad guys etc. Problem is that they control the airwaves, not KRA and hence were able to easily hoodwink the neutrals. Am not saying corruption is not there. It is and is thriving at the port, but this particular episode was nonsense at best - just sensational reporting. The fellows did not even seem to understand the difference between a bill of lading and a Customs Declaration. The guys wanted KRA to comment before release of the story, but when the Commissioner requested to view the tape before commenting they refused. They then reported Commissioner had refused to talk to then, but omitted to state the fact of the Commissioner's request.

Will never take them seriously again.

Reporters or no reporters, they are lucky to be alive. Possession of an illegal gun in kenya earns you an instant shooting by the police. Once witnessed such an instance, a taxi driver threatened to 'shoot' his underpaying customers. People scampered and the next we knew, DRAMA... 5 policemen were walking all over his head, shooting around and demanding toa bunduki. First time i saw a grow man wet his pants, while crying like a baby.
