Oooh State house! State house. Ooh how state house brokered a deal. State brokered a deal with MSC where kes 3.1 billion was pumped. Where is MSC now? John 5:17 But Jesus replied, “My Father is always working, and so am I.”

Just like before on HFCK, SBU, BoK, KCB.. Arrogantly I refer to myself as the ultimate insider There is a 66.6% chance that KQ will not pay a dividend if your lifetime. Tomorrow is promised to no one not even the president of USA. Like I live for KES 0.35 dividend per YEAR? Soo juvenile that statement.. We invest for the next generation and the bible says that it is better to leave an inheritance.. Why live for a meager dividend?? Capital gains define my investment strategy COOP, IMH, KEGN, KQ, MTNU

I watched a documentary of a US car manufacturing plant, in the US, where they hire "cheaper" labor (vs the old union pay scales) and the plant is highly automated. Some sections are fully automated i.e. robots do all the functions. The "humans" are involved in monitoring what the robots are doing.
One scene was really neat. The entire shell/body of the car is dipped in an anti-corrosive bath, to evenly coat the car's body, by a mechanical arm. The whole process didn't even take 30 secs!
As @murchr said, it will not be long until the need for "flight attendants" is reduced further. LCCs are increasing the use of "ordering" screens for food/drinks so no-one comes by to ask if you want to buy a soda or sandwich. Frankly, do you need a flight attendant to show you how to put on your seatbelt?
The 787s need only 2 pilots vs the 3 (pilots/engineers) that were present in older planes. Apparently, the plane can take off, fly and land using the on-board computer. Disruption is real. 787 pilot requirements depends on the distance to be flown. If long haul then two not enough. Where human beings are being processed such as aviation, the employee factor cannot be ignored. It's a matter of time before "human staff" are reduced for such functions. Drones are airplanes flown by a combination of computers and humans. As are planes. In 10 years, the "West" will probably have driverless cars. In 25 years, perhaps planes? Or just one pilot in the plane with another on the ground manning 3-4 planes? Will there be crashes? Yes. Will computers be blamed? Yes. Have humans ever crashed planes? Yes. The main function of cabin crew is safety and security and , arming each aircraft door, an extension of the Pilot in Command in the cabin. second is service . so whoever is calling for automation of the job is misinformed.

Mere political expediency. That story is so badly crafted ............ Ofcourse, Nation media is the mouthpiece of the administration. Credit goes to the employees and especially the person who leaked the forensic audit report to the media and the Mckinsey contract and payments summary.They have saved the ordinary individual shareholders though the road to recovery is very long and treacherous as I have always said here.

It is now public knowledge that these individuals were and are still overseeing mismanagement of the Company. In fact,if we had leaders in Kenya, then Mckinsey contract would have been renegotiated and asked to refund any excess payments made to them so far.

So far nothing achieved by Mckinsey that an average Kenyan can't do. Mediocre siphoning money out of KQ while management is enjoying kickbacks.
