JKIA has achieved Category One status that allows for direct flights to USA

[Gitimu Peter]

excuse my ignorance
why KQ and not KA.....what does KQ stands for?

Kenya Airways came after Korean Airways, which had already been allocated the call sign KA. So Kenya Airways had to use KQ as its call sign.

and whats the Q?

 

[Iconoclastes]

They actually are!

It's actually the orgasmic nature of the excitement shown by your people, that makes me question the sanity of most Kenyans (pun intended). The story goes like this:

NEPAD has a short term goal of realizing the Great North Trans African Highway goal. So they ask the AfDB (which is EU's money) to facilitate funding to the countries that have cities lying on the proposed highway, to build or expand their messed up highways.

GOK of Kenya asked JICA for funds to conduct feasibility studies, send back the results and get the loan. So you start with Nairobi - Thika, then there's money for Isiolo-Moyale and Athi River - Arusha.
Ethiopian government gets money for Ageremariam - Moyale and GOT gets money for Babati - Singida. That will make the Northern corridor of the whole project. The Southern corridor has money too, but this has to begin with Botswana and Zambia.

This thing started in 2005.

I know these projects will be used to praise politicians and subsequently win elections, and also - as you intellectually concluded - measure the country's creditability.
But, hey!

Kobello, The construction of the elevated highways were never included in the GNR masterplan. The plan was just to construct the highways, the ordinary highways.....without the frills linking the Austral Africa to the North.
The idea of including those other features were the Kenyan govt's idea, in order to decongest the city.
And it is not just the Thika Superhighay (which is part of the GNR) that boasts of the flyovers, there are several other roads within Nairobi, and also in Mombasa, Kisumu and Nakuru.......

Where is your proof that NEPAD was even involved in the Thika Highway projects anyway?

 

[NairobiWalker]

and whats the Q?

It's just a code. No meaning. Most Airline codes don't necessarily match the initials of the airline because there would be so many airlines with matching initials.

Kubali - kataa, you still have a long way to go, wa Israel mpaka leo hawajawasahau. You can share a cord with anyone other airline but to see the actual KQ flight landing in JFK you still have a long way to go. Hata KQ wanajuwa hilo (just ask them).

You still have a long way to go, you'll need to rub state and homeland dept the right way. Na mkiwafanyia mchezo mchafu mliowafanyia Emirates, wamarekani hawajuwi kuuma maneno.

Waliwafanyia nini Emirates?

 

[Mwanzi1]

Waliwafanyia nini Emirates?

Emirate walitaka kuongeza safari za kuja Kenya, wakenya wakubali halafu wakageuza kibao na kukataa kwa sababu ya kulinda shirika lao lisizidiwe nguvu na Emirates. Michezo kama hiyo huwezi kuwachezea wamarekani.

Unatia huruma, ulichoandika hapa kinadhihirisha hata Kiswahili chenyewe hukijui vizuri, Kingereza kimekupiga chenga halafu mbaya zaidi Watanzania wengi hamjui kuongea lugha zenu za asili. Sasa mtasaidiwa vipi, maana mnaishi kama watumwa vile wasiokua na asili yoyote.

Wakenya tunajivunia uwezo wa kuongea lugha nyingi, kawaida huwa tunaongea lugha zetu za asili, halafu Kiswahili tunakitumia kama lugha ya taifa na Kingereza kama lugha ya biashara maana huwa kinatupea hadhi kimataifa. Na zaidi ya hapo kuna baadhi ya watoto wetu wanajifunza Kifaransa, Kijerumani n.k.

Mkitufuata mtapasuka misamba maana sisi tupo kwenye level nyingine ya juu.

Acha ushamba,penda bara lako penda lugha yako,ongea kiswahili lugha ya Africa...usisahau kua kiswahili kinatengenezwa hapa Tanzania.

 

[Juakali1980]

Yeah, but it is thru the dogged determination of his regime that has seen this process succeed!
Akina wale are not saints, they wont be any better, kid yourselves not. They are at least as corrupt and incompetent as this govt u are so demonizing. If u dont believe me, look at the kind of leaders that "PRINCIPLE" has installed in HIS backyard. They are pathetic, incompetent, unproductive, corrupt; but bcos they are HIS lackeys.........
Even though the pipo may not want them, some way some how these worthless MPs get elected into parliament. For some reason, HE always prefers to sponsor such substandard candidates into parliament. They never deliver nothing for the pipo, except singing HIS praises. HE is revered over there even more than Jesus, and it disgusting.

He seems to resent development/independent minded pipo in HIS chiefdom. HE seems to thrive on the misconception (he helped propagate) among the pipo from that region, and in that slum billed to be the largest in the universe that they are the disfavored ones. Any development project brought about by HIS non-supporters vying for a seat in any of the constituencies in the regions where he holds sway is percieved as the central govt's(and I mean the govt led by somebody from "central") nefarious plans to undermine HIM.

He is quick to pillory others for corruption and incompetence, lakini he is blind to the similar offences committed by HIS people.....his sycophants.

HE is the only "champion" for the poor. INDEED!!!



Do be sensible, folks, how can u trust a person with that kind of record with the leadership of this country?

In that list which do you believe are true scandals??? I can tell you following politicians blindly is quite bad, when opposition says it is a scandal its followers ran with it, that yes it is, with no proof at all. All this things you are listing here are because the kina RAILA said! I don't like the attitude!!

But most of these claims still remain unsubstantiated.

In my above criticism of HIM, I dint anywhere say the other pack is clean. I said the following; "He is quick to pillory others for corruption and incompetence, lakini he is blind to the similar offences committed by HIS people.....his sycophants", meaning I do acknowledge the existence of corruption within the Jubilee rank, but by point was is NASA any better?
All the NASA leaders, right from HIM have been implicated in some impropriety while they were holding public offices. The MPs, senators, Governors drawn from the party headed by HIM do indulge in corruption in their constituencies, and not once has HE ever called them to order. All the top leaders that have united to form the NASA party have checkered past, all those leaders, right from HIM. And if HE really abhors corruption and other acts of criminality as he always portray himself, why then in HIS quest for the coastal region backing is HE cavorting with one of the leaders from that region said to be a 'chemist'?

The reason I'd rather Jubilee than NASA is bcos at least they are delivering in terms of development, in a manner I do not believe NASA under HIM will ever be able to. This is what Kenya needs now more than ever. Look at HIS past records in that field, look at his records in Kibra and his policies in Nyanza area, pushing for leaders of low calibre into parliament. Most have never achieved much in terms of development, except politicking and always blaming central government (l already explained what I mean by the "central govt") for the region's development woes. Look at what happened to the independent and development minded Nyanza leaders such as Raphael Tuju.
If HE cant even foster development in his own region, in own constituency, why then should we trust him with the country?
Juakali1980 , if corruption is really your concern against this govt, then I implore you, NASA and HIM as the president is not the answer.

Uhuru Kenyatta has really tried to reach out to the people of Nyanza area, he has really tried to heal the bad blood between Kisumu and Nairobi, and I admire him for that. Thru his govt, he has really tried to develop the region, despite HIM and his goons always standing in the way.

"ALLEGED" . Underline that word please. None of those has ever been substantiated, save for NYS, and the culprits are well known. (Including Junnet Mohammed).

And while we talk of corruption, where have you left out the ksh 20 Billion plundered in Nairobi county? And over one billion in Kilifi? Or the same in Mombasa?

In law we say " HE WHO SEEKS EQUITY MUST COME WITH CLEAN HANDS."

The same applies with political allegations in search of voter apathy. As you tell us of your opponent's dirty laundry, we also know that your own house is full of filth.

But all of the scams JuaKali 1980 listed are GRAND CORRUPTION!!!! You are harping a useless line about "development minded leaders like Raphael Tuju". A tired line that says the only people capable of development in a particular region are those willing to repudiate their own leaders, toe "our " line and lick our boots. Dayum, if i didn't know you, I'd say you're going through a phase. How can you even defend a regime that can't even account for fully 1/3 of its national budget and tries subtle means to undermine devolution!!
