@Obi in addition to what @intelligentsia says. Money allocated to defense is used for various items/votes as below though not conclusive or the right headings.
1. Salaries and allowances
2. Purchase and maintenance of Equipment ( weapon systems, vehicles, comms,A/c, MV's)
3. Training (New and continuos)
4. Expendables (Ammunition Ration Fuel Kitting e.t.c)
5. Other stores... e.t.c
Now let's concentrate on item 2.Air assets are vital in ALL modern militaries. From fighters to transport to surveillance aircrafts (A/C) including drones. Also we got Tanks, Artillery, Anti tanks, Support weapons, armoured fighting vehicles. Engineers equipment, personal night capable equipment e.t.c The questions are:
a. Did it receive enough allocation in the year?
b. We're the equipment bought and/or maintained within the period?
c. If they were bought, was it in the preferred quantity and of STANDARD/QUALITY relevant to current threat?
As said, in times of Kenyatta Kenya was ahead but has been deteriorating and as per now we're ahead of Somalia ONLY in the region. Owing to Non purchase at all, poor maintenance or purchase of Poor quality equipment.
Looking at the Numbers you got to analyze what are total numbers? What is the active/Deployable number? From this get the effective %. There are high chances of the "bigs" both internal and external having employed many of their kids heaped in HQs and logistics and cannot go to operations thus leaving a small overworked number despite the "large population"
Ethiopia has is superior in Numbers, superior equipment but inferior in training thus low quality HR. Uganda similarly. Museveni himself a soldier decides which equipment is to be procured. Tanzania is coming up. Kenyan Presidents having no background rely on what they're told. Some are truth some are lies! God forbid if Uganda goes aggressive
with current Somalia... We shall surrender early.
I hear there are reasonable Leaders there trying to mend things let's hope for the best.
Everybody STEALS, a THIEF is one who's CAUGHT stealing something of LITTLE VALUE. !!!

How credible is that report


An expert analysis on the El Adde attack and the shortcomings of the mission in Somalia.

In summary the KDF base was too big for such a small number of soldiers to effectively defend. The report also claims KDF has a poor relationship with the local clans and there is poor coordination with Ethiopia which is in command of that sector.

Hard to get info at the moment.
Appears an ambush, a backlash by Al Kefafu for the heat they have been feeling in Badhaadhe

Pole to the poor soldiers.

Another shameful capitulation by our military. Are we good enough to take on Alshabab?

Can't wait for the excuses from Boris Boyka and Intelligentsia to start flowing through.
