How is the interest of the Kenyan public safeguarded. Suppose somebody went to court to seek clarification?”

    Why did Mr. Waruingi wait until now to start asking questions when this projet has been going on for 3yrs? He has an agenda against TEAMS and cannot be relied on to give an objective answer. A quick calculation 8knots = 14.82km/h, therefore to cover 5000km takes 14.058days or 2 weeks. This is bad journalism because you choose to rely on rumours and hearsay.

    This Waruinge guy doesnt know what his talking about. A cable laying ship travels 8knots 24hrs without stopping. With that you can calculate that it would cover 5000km in a month. What stake does he have in TEAMS? Is he a director? I prefer to listen to Dr. Ndemo instead or Michael Joseph of Safaricom.
