10368223-1015218035150170.jpg Ministry Of Interior and Coordination of National tender number 1/2014-2016......the BID BOND ALONE is Ksh500,000 To my understanding,bid bonds at any given tenders always averages between 1,2 or 3% of the whole tender! guessing the lowest percentage would be 1%,..100% will translate to 50,000,000 kenyans shillings 50MILLION SHILLINGS TO 'AIRLIFT' uhuru speeches?????????? to where???statehouse to nyayo?statehouse to the counties?statehouse to obama?statehouse to china?or statehouse to nigeria? This is outrageous!!!!This Must Not be allowed! HERE ARE THE THIEVES! >Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government • Cabinet Secretary: Mr. Joseph Ole Lenku • Principal Secretary: Mr. Mutea Iringo (Interior) • Principal Secretary: Ms. Josephta Mukobe (Coordination) Already Uhuru’s chief Facebook spin-master who happens to be the boss of New Media at Statehouse was embarrassed and had this to say“I hold the strong opinion that in a digital age we have no business flying speeches. Jubilee believes in the digital space. Whereas this year we have little option but fly the speeches, in the next we should seek alternate means,” On the issue of airlifting the President speech on National days: *This was the tradition during the Provincial Administration era, and it was done during National days not any other day. We currently have three national days in a year. *The CS Interior Joseph Ole Lenku will cancel the tender, thereafter the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government will adopt modern methods of getting the President’s speech to County Commissioners based in areas with POOR road network and not just all the counties. *The airlifting of the President’s speech is a tradition that was introduced in the post colonial era but not MODERN were it was read simultaneously as the President. *Those with better ideas on modern methods are welcome to give them. As for now CS Ole Lenku will cancel the tender appearing in today’s Daily Nation on page 37.

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Mulolongo is not just a place.

Mulolongo is not just a place. It's a whole syllabus. And deep within its curriculum is a tiny street called Zambarau where meat is sold both day and night. By day, Zambarau is a heaven of nyama.
