Storm over Passat

http://www.ntv.co.ke
A whole new row that has emerged over the governments purchase of 200 Passat vehicles. The parliamentary public accounts committee is now set to summon Finance Minister Uhuru Kenyatta over the deal. The committee says it has queries on the method of tendering and the ministers failure to seek parliamentary approval. However, as NTVs Joe Ageyo reports, the treasury insists that the deal was above board.

Instead of wasting the taxpayers' money on these extravagance, the government oughtta focus its energy and resources on helping its own citizens. There are still idps in camps and people are starving to death for God's sake!

[lubumbashi1000]

Uhuru Kenyatta carries himself with such a swagger depicting a feeling in him that somwhow he is a special personality in Kenya, above everybody else, infact he feels he is some kind of prince, heir apparent and everybody else comes second.

Yep, I agree with Khalwale, the passat price being thrown around needs to be scrutinized and why it ended up being the top pick needs to be addressed.
