Robert and Dickson
Whom do you think will listen to your voices?
Just wondering if Mr Njenga Karume is still in Kenya he was Defense Minister and we all laughed when he was appointed
Ask Nation Media Group,it raised this issue and a stern warning was given to them
See no evil,hear no Evil man nikii wee
Nation nowadays never says anything about it again
After all no one ever cares when our Soldiers get killed not in line of duty but via human neglect
The army person who procured those trucks in his/her mind was money first
Never cared whom those trucks will be carrying because their children wont be in there
Until we start lobbying our leaders to scrutinize Defense Budgets we shall keep mourning as we see great brains get crashed on our roads in those Trucks
NB-C.O.G-Center of Gravity when COG is very high the stability of the Vehicle is compromised,that is why sports cars have low COG-for stability
And what about The Swaraj buses from Alfa Motors Limited and Kebs saga?

Can someone tell Kianga that those chinese trucks are only very good on rough terrain,not on the tarmac.The other day i was trying to compete with one from Nairobi to Nakuru and guess what,i overtook it somewhere past Naivasha.Those DMCs are very fast.Infakt i had to really push my ride hard to overtake,at 160 km/h and i wish u saw that thing negotiating corners.It could really swing on one side coz of inertia.Something is wrong with it and it is it’s C.O.G

Guys
Now we have another 6 soldiers killed while going for training. We have had many of our soldiers killed in these Chinese Lorries. How many more soldiers must be killed so that the lorries can be withdrawn from our arsenal?
These soldiers are our brothers and sisters. They deserve better conditions also. How many soldiers must die?
The steyr Trucks are finishing our soldiers
Robert
These Chinese trucks are not worth the name they are written on leave alone being on our roads& more so ferrying our military , braze your selves for more accidents
