Now now @tony stark, your emotions show strong sentiment. Be weary as strong emotions could lead to impaired reasoning.

Would you argue that 'global village' quickly transforms to a 'global theatre'...........
..where the death of an innocent peasant leads to world upheavals
..and the actions of politicans are tried at a world stage
..and the whims of a tablet computer, stroke desire worldwide
..and 2 rich men rally billionaires everywhere to give


Now how can we equate two positions in a 4,000 person company to a policy on immigration and job loss? Note all leading telecom tech companies are foreign - Nokia Siemens/Huawei/Ericsson/Motorolla.

In this age where Kenyan runners are feted at world stage, Kenyan roses celebrated in flower festivals, Kenyan wildlife cited as a new world wonder, and Kenyan innovations awarded at global technology conferences;

I say the best - and I pray it be Kenyan, but whether it be Hague, British, American, Carribean, Indian, Chinese - and that sir is my opinion!

@ Muganda.
Right reasoning, maybe a little dogmatic, wrong conclusions, I think.

Lemme introduce yet another angle to this debate; I am now convinced Collymore is a Vodafone man not a Safaricom man.

He might want to do their bidding but that will harm the other 60% shareholders.

MJ understood Kenyans as a unique and peculiar people and thus relied on local knowledge and expertise to bring phenomenal growth to Safaricom. He was a safaricom man, not a Vodafone whimp.

Another point is; some will say it is just one or two positions..I say..expats earn so much more that it matters. I once worked for small German company in Kenya where our immediate expat manager earned more than all the Kenyans combined! Go figure.

I fear Collymore's stint will heavily favour Vodafone and not the other 60%.

That I agree with but only to the extent that the internally should have a broader meaning to encompass Kenya if the externally refers to outside Kenya.
