some socialist here think that you need everyone fed before we can do anything useful... hiyo ni ujinga ya african thinking!! a country does not have to wait until every child is fed or has a classroom before giving a majority of them laptops... a country does not need to wait until everyone is fed before you build thika superhighway or use BVR. watu waache kufikiria hivyo... kudos India... endeleeni kuweka vitu in space let the critics/villagers keep on talking.

I am seeing very angry readers comments on British papers with many saying that India is using the 'foreign aid' it gets from Britain to explore mars instead of buying food for the poor citizens.

Interestingly India has told Britain that it no longer needs foreign aid but Britain has insisted in giving it the money so that it (UK) can continue having influence/some clout over India.

instead of just focusing on feeding people... perhaps gava should stimulate the economy by ensuring that private sector gets some of these big contracts like for BVR or building highways! it would really be interesting if Gava spent billions to ensure that it uses 100% Kenyan made vehicles. that is how you build industries. my greatest regret was that 9 billion was sent outside the country yet we could do this things locally!!! but ujinga iletumejazwa nayo is thinking... "NANI ANAKULA HIYO 9 BILLION?" of course inakulwa... either ikuliwe hapa or ikulwe na mzungu - make your choice! afadhali ikuliwe hapa coz that money would be injected into the economy. I hope India is sourcing everything locally! coz if they are they will spur the aeronautical industry vibaya sana!

nope... I am not ok with that but I believe subsistence thinking is what is holding us back!! empower people to help themselves but a country has to learn to chew gum and skate the stairs at the same time! Wewe ulinunua gari wakati kila mtu kwenu alishiba na kuwenda shule?

perhaps the clarification that needs to be done is that mali ya umma is not mali ya maskini. public resources don't belong to the poor! public resources are supposed to assist us do stuff that we cannot do individually!
