I don't see what Jubilee gov't has to do with this.

The people giving food to the animals are not from Jubilee. They are just stupid people. The people supposed to be caring for that property are not Jubilee, they are simply unpatriotic humans( i did not say Kenyans).

I always find it so funny how Kenyans looking for jobs worldwide are actually hired because of their hard working and ethical nature. Those in Kenya on the other hand are a strange strange breed.

Why blow a fuse when Somalis are mentioned but never point a finger when okuyu-bashing is going on? You are more of a hypocrite than anything else.

This is a systems problem. For example, people feed the animals because it's part of human psychology to do such things, and the zoo design is conducive for such behavior.

Or the litter is all around because oftenly litter is more than the number of bins in a place and the collection of garbage isn't the main activity in the zoo. For example, @masukuma couldn't stop looking at the Somalis feeding the monkeys to pick litter.

Such problems exist in other places. Even in America. The solutions are created according to optimal models. Not ego bashing, and blaming Jubilee or whoever, or whatever. Though of course optimal solutions involve cultural shifts.

it doesn't worry anyone that doctors in mombasa have not received their July pay?

a couple of weeks back - i decided to take out my whole family to the animal orphanage - my son is about 3.5 years old and I reckoned he would get quite excited about seeing all these large animals which he had seen only in photos or as drawing in cartoons and books. so we went to KWS and took paid then went in. What stood out was just how many domestic tourists were there. It was a huge number since we had to queue for a couple of minutes to pay. I did not see a white face in sight. As soon as we went in I noticed people of somali extraction also being quite present. We went around and we came to the monkey cage/place where i found a couple of people feeding the monkeys and posing for photos! it struck me as odd since from the first time I did my first national park visit I remember the instructions DON'T FEED THE ANIMALS. Why were these people doing this? did they not read? do they not know that they could be harming the animal? It struck me as odd. Last saturday, I decided to take out the famo to the Safari walk. It has always been a favourite place to visit ever since i brought myself to Nairobi. I was there when rangers was open, then it closed then it opened again... but the last time I was there was possibly 2 years ago. I decided it would be a nice place to take a visitor to the country 'ajionee wanyama'. first stop... Rangers Restaurant - shock on me... it closed... I looked like an idiot - but I guess i could have googled before that. so we decide to eat at that small restaurants next to the safari walk gate and it had terrible service! from taking orders to getting food wrong and late to a number of small small issues here and there. I took it in stride since 'TIA' and went into the safari walk... kujionea wanyama and I noticed things were a bit run down... the water is not clear... not sure even if the fish that were in there are alive. People were as usual feeding animals and taking photos/selfies. I went to the boardwalk and huge section of it was closed off (it was creaky the last time I was there). I looked down an saw lots and lots of litter... majuala all over... I was to take my son to the small boys room and found it locked and decided liweliwalo - we shall use the ladies. all this time something was running at the back of my head .. the question... what happened? this was usually a nice place to visit... now we have lots of people around, the facilities are terrible, they seemed not to be well maintained? what happened? so later that evening as I was pondering on the 'decay' a number of thoughts crossed my mind... could it be that we don't have that many foreign tourists so... we don't need to keep the standard i was used to? did Julius Kipngetich's leaving have anything to do with the terrible state of affairs I had witnessed? THEN IT SUDDENLY HIT ME! I was 'old' and if my son was of age I would tell him - 'you know during my days...x and y and z were fine. e.t.c. And it made me relate to my folks complaining about how education these days is useless/not hard, how carey francis and his maths did blah blah blah. how university education is useless these days and 'quality' has gone down e.t.c. It hit me that if the past is anything to go by the situation will never be 'better'! what we consider decay or may seem like decay from the experienced eyes will always occur as we add the numbers of people who use these institutions. our cultural values will now pop-up in public. Jumping of queues in classy restaurants e.t.c. as ordinary kenyans get more disposable income.

I reckon that poaching has decline since we have fewer elephants and rhinos! not because its more difficult to hunt them down based on external actions by KWS.

These wazuans.What's stopping you from building a a middle class resort in nice place and make it enviable.

Since we can't afford 5 star facilities and the average ones are not well maintained,I suggest the following;

Resort Name: Waza
Managers- red/orange posters
Finance- That guy who loves graphs.
Entertainers(stage dancers)-Swenani and group..
Musica in Charge-Alma and Kingfisher
Kitchen- Me so you can eat boiled Cabs/Brocolli for breakfast.
Gym/Sauna/Pool - Big chick/Washiku/Masukush
Security Gate cctv--Mawinder
Health club/In house doc- Rankaz
Therapist/Relaxation techniques -Tycho

vacant positions to be filled as resort expands.

Solutions solutions is what.
