on Sato UK hired all Thika Matatus... and for good measure roped in all those from the environs of Thika i.e Murang'a, Nyeri, garissa et al..
event was 'formation of a mt. Kenya matatu association'...with question marks

Going to those sides was more expensive than hitching a flight to Uganda...

A kanyoni in the grapevines tells me that there are 800 matatus on thika rd. and each matatu was paid a full days wages
i.e 10k for gasoline
5k to the owner
1.5k to the driver
na konkodi ngiri yake pap!!

thats 17,500 per motorgari...
my mind mind and hands cant let me do the maths as to how much was spent on saturday..too boggling for my small brain.

Matatu men being who they are..kulad that money and still ferried those they were hired for, and still managed to move the masses(at exhorbitant prices) from NBI to Thika.

African parents don't know how to say sorry.. the closest you will get to a sorry is a 'have you eaten'

@simon - manze u r becoming so anti-ICC - and what's with all the alarmist attitude?

things will happen and am not sure as Kenyan citizens we will be the ones to influence the decision - our politicians and world leaders are going to drive this - each with their own interests in mind.

whichever way this goes, Kenyan citizens can play their role - DUMISHA AMANI!

@Kabz, some guys said there will be violence should the suspects be named by Ocampo. They were named and there was no violence. Some say there will be violence should the suspects be indicted and trial begins, my take is there will be no violence. Some think there will be violence in 2012 if nothing happens to the suspects, here I concur.
Great men are not always wise, neither do the aged understand judgement...
