THE MOMENTS WE REGRET BUT NEVER LEARN.


Smoke seen From Behind at the JKIA this week.

Today, Wednesday, 07 August 2013, was a day that walk up Kenya with sadness. It was similarly a day people would be expect to wake up sad to commemorate the tragedy of O7 August 1998, but more added to it.
The burning down of international arrivals unit at JKIA caught many with surprise and left them still confused. The fire, whose main cause hasn’t yet been established, interfered with the schedule of many Kenyans starting from the president whom I think and am sure was not prepared to be at the airport today. Many who were to travel were delayed and those arriving on emergencies delayed to attend to their schedules.
Calculate the economic impact.
A lawyer who was to attend a case in Kisii had to fail to appear because he couldn’t get a flight. What do you think happened to the diary of the judge who was listening to the case?
After the Nakumatt Down town tragedy, it was apparent that our city of more than 5million population was not well equipped with fire fighting equipment. However, what was done to cover this shame next time. Am told that today the fire fighting engines ran out of water and more tanks that carry clean water had to be deployed. Do we really learn from the past?
Are we still waiting for more and more losses so as to equip our fire fighting team?
Do we still want to apologise when losses have occurred beyond repair?
What are we planning for next?
I rest my case and sit back to Observe.
Hope Next time we shall see modern and enough facilities in place before we hear apologies.
Sorry to all those whose schedule was affected.
