Nkt, why embarrass ourselves with grandiose projects such as these, when we badly need to fix other things for Kenya to prosper?

Is is costing the UK $19B to host the olympics. This is about Kshs 1.6 trillion. Who will fork out this Mulla? One could transform a country with this kind of money if well spent.

..This guy is unbelievable why mislead the country?? sounds like the Ayacko guy some years back who said Kenya would hoast the world-cup..

@Mcreggae i have no party/leader affiliations but having seen almost first hand what it takes to organise the olympic games, small wonder no African country has ever hosted it! It will take an ENOURMOUS amount of cash,goodwill from politicians,a complete revamp of infrastructure,accomodation, JKIA will need to be extended (further),companies will need to work on flexi-time,security the list is endless.

..Try and google the report by CISCO on the bottlenecks they faced in preparation for this olympics? (Do you know NBC'S streaming link broke down during men's 100m final, guys in the US waliona recorded version) LOCOG website crashes everyday here and this is powered by BT,trust me when i tell you hatuwemek!!

We can make guys. 12 years is a long time. If we have the right leadership, we can.
Doors of opportunity don't just open , they have to be unlocked & it's up to you to turn the knob.

3 times from where??.Beijing spent USD 3B and made a paltry USD 170M.....as for London,there are doubts as to whether they will make a penny

Clearly the authorities massively misjudged, but it was entirely because they refused to believe the evidence of past games. They were glory-blinded. Had the government said from the start that London was a rich city staging the Olympics as a costly but generous gesture to the world, there could be no further argument. Ministers said no such thing. From Cameron down, they claimed the games would make money, now and, if not now, then some time in the future. This was plain dishonest. Everyone knows there is no Olympic legacy, but, as with Santa Claus, we dare not tell the children.

London will not recover the cost of the Olympics and may as well forget it. Having spent the money we should at least lie back and enjoy it. But we should stop pretending. The real victims of London's mind-numbing mendacity will be the poor and hapless citizens of Rio in 2016. They really cannot afford it.
