State's silence on US plane deal suspicious

The silence from Kenyan authorities on allegations by concerned US congressmen that we could be getting a raw deal in the planned purchase of military aircraft is deafening, to say the least!

Sadly, we have buried our heads in the sand like the proverbial ostrich! Irrespective of whether the deal is legally compliant as claimed by the US ambassador to Kenya, Mr Robert Godec, the fact that it does not represent value for money as alleged by his congressional bosses ought to raise our eyebrows.
