Thanks for the Hat Tip and many of us can of course understand your frustration. I think that Dr. G (George Ayittey) has described your situation as "the blind leading the clueless" in his recent talk down in Tanzania. I didn't realize that you were based up North but now that I see that you are on my turf we will have to meet personally. Send me an email message (you have it) and perhaps we can re-arrange our busy work schedules and share a Beck's or two and der Weser. The weather is improving in Bremen today although it is still a bit overcast and humid. Hochsummer fur den Norden. Best regards, Bill Hello Kiku,

Orgs like the UN that have no output at all but actually burn lots of funds in the process anyways. That's frustrating.<p> Also, this ignorance by Europeans is so annoying. They always talk about Africa as if it is "something down there in the South". I am really pissed off about this attitude. Well I was just f****** pissed today at these ppl who dared to talk about situations in other countries and who actually never got a clue or thought about asking those who DO have a healthy understanding of what’s the situation alike in affected areas.

Why can't some of these meetings involve the casualties not just the so called decision makers. A town meeting where a villager can perhaps make the development strategists understand the emotions , the connections etc that their decision affect the people. I'm yet to see some of these meeting being held in a town hall somewhere in Kakamega or that is not a fancy ground ? Pole, you know me and these kind of topic and yes I maybe naive in not knowing how things work but heck enough talk already!

Too many meetings talking about the basic ati in intellectual manner but yet the problems being talked about still linger? It is time for actions and I for one I'm tired of seeing all these brainies keep talking about same ol' things as if it is rocket science, to define a problem in one meeting and then spring into action and stop wasting money trying to hold the "intellectual meetings" which years after years have been held and yet we still have the same goddam problems. Or it is a case of some people wanting to look important ??? Sorry I feel your frustrations!!! Kiku” Welcome to the world of illusions, talk and more talk but no real action!
