From the cow's mouth, linked hereQuote:The Government of Kenya has requested a possible sale of up to twelve (12) Air Tractor AT- 802L and two (2) AT-504 trainer aircraft, weapons package, technical support and program management. These items also cost money on top of the unit price of the aircraft.

Obviously @shadow came across the article on Nation, formed an hypothesis that tenderprenuers are involved, then went looking for the evidence. Google landed him on the Economist but common comprehension deserted him at his hour of need  Life is short. Live passionately.

Anyway, if somebody or something abandoned me at the hour of need, i would surely review that relationship  Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Why are you arguing from a point of ignorance? This is a modern aircraft that has proven effective fighting ISIS in Syria and Libya. Another big customer is the CIA, fighting the drugs war in Colombia.

Nothing wrong with getting this aircraft. It is suitable for the war in NFD and Somalia.
However, I am not sure of the price we are paying.
We need a breakdown.
