Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable. Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The Mulembe Nation mourns the loss of one of her Foremost Sons,as the larger Kenyan Nation mourns one of her most dedicated Public servants,Former Minister Nathan Munoko.
My deepest condolences to the Munoko family and the larger Bungoma family.
Eternal rest grant him Lord,May your perpetual light shine upon him,may he rest in peace.
JKIA: During one of the National Blackouts, JKIA was plunged into darkness because the Backup Generators did not pick up. It has happened several times and even one CEO was fired. Somebody called me to go and have a look and advice( he was a 3rd Party).
It was a simple problem. Changeover Circuit design. They would required just 5 days work to re-redesign and Commission.
But I pulled out when I realised the people driving the process
did not understand the problem and we're more interested in solving it by providing more Generators.
But JKIA load was 4.5MVA and the standby Generators were 2 x 4MVA total 8MVA which was double the load, far more than enough.
But later I heard they were Generators to be supplied to every terminal etc which I thought was absurd.
The main problems in JKIA are just a symptom of what is happening everywhere else. The advent of non Professionals making decisions. In particular the introduction of Procurement Rules which have sidelined users. Today the Professional is the Procurement Manager. The National Blackouts we are experiencing is part of that problem.
Back to JKIA. These are my observations:
The Engineering department is almost non existent.
The Engineering Staff had no exposure in the Control Schemes. They were reduced to observer status. At the time of the visit, I met people working on the standby Generator controls who I thought were JKIA staff only to be told they were from the Vendor!!
The Engineers from JKIA were not participating. When I asked them for the changeover scheme, they had no drawing!!
Looks like deals are done by the Procurement/MD level with very little control and involvement of the Users.
JKIA is just like a shopping mall. The Runway is just a Tarmac Road with higher compacting levels. So what is this that we need Adani for??
All we need is to rebuild the Engineering Dept to professional level. It will only require Salaries.
Atheism left an empty space
Secular religion took its place
But left the people in despair
Childless hedonism sans care
Maybe religion’s not so bad
To keep you from being sad
