    Lee Njiru, Eric and Muga .....thank you for that intriguing interview. Well structured, informative, balanced and most definitely full of so much wisdom within words for the current political cabal to learn or lose from. The time of Ceaser was drawn in the sand, and so it became. Humility and other virtues of leadership must be espoused to ensure continuity and rid cowardice from those to whom responsibility is given.
    Please bring Lee back for more. Indeed there is a lot that is contained in African proverbs from days of yonder.

    Splendid listening to Lee Njiru. Must commend Lee Njiru for his wisdom. The man is very informed. Without appearing to use a cliché, Lee Njiru is an National Encyclopaedia. His choice of words and style of talking is very captivating and nice to listen to. Mr. Lee Njiru was a loyal Press Secretary. To Mzee Jomo Kenyatta and Daniel Arap Moi. I learned from Lee Njiru in the past years that Mzee Jomo Kenyatta had two important friends: Kamuzu Banda of Malawi and Josip Broz Tito of Former Yugoslavia. Why Kenyatta and Tito were particularly big friends can be seen in the Wars that led to the disintegration of of Yugoslavia and why 10 years later, Kenya nearly collapsed as a Nation with the post-election violence of 2007/2008. You only get such information from Mr. Lee Njiru. Quote of teh day fro Mr. Lee Njiru today: "The patience of GENZIS is NOT endlessly elastic."

    I wish leaders were going for wisdom words.
    As a safety specialist trained abroad in comparison with what is going on in this country is a disaster in waiting. Schools are burned everyday. Road traffic accidents are happening everyday solution is there but leaders seem not to understand or even care money is wasted everyday.
    In terms of education CBC which was borrowed abroad, from people who have different cultures and implement rest assured it will truggle to work here. Even though is good thing, the country's leadership structures dotes not accommodate innovation and new Idea. It will never even work in Kenya because of our bad cultures.
    Currently we are wallowing in failures, we shall never improve and we have engaged in reverse gear when other countries are going forward. How can we have the country losing 600 billion on corruptions and keep borrowing? There is no logic at all.
