Hakuna gunship

They will be paid in zebu cows

Even this week some construction workers in mandera were murdered, story imekanyagiwa.

Huko si unaelewa ni siasa na ufisadi. These helos are warfighters, not intelligence gathering tools.

I see your point. Yes they may be able to do it, bug how feasible is it? The Pokot only have guns for their cows and self protection from bandit attacks.

Hakuna gunship

These are gunships, very effective ones at that.

Fafanulia @The rapist maana ya gunship kwanza

 

[Nattydread]

These are not helicopter gunships but light observation choppers that can be equipped with light weapons.

I highly doubt that we can buy gunships, or be allowed to purchase the best.

They have different ideologies why they fight other communities, the kenyatta government tried that strategy to contain sakuia clan in marsabit in 70s by arming garre and borana clans, unaona shida iko marsabit hata yesu na wafwasi wake can't contain that situation.

 

[Aviator]

Are we stockpiling for some war somewhere in the near future?

 

[Mr Black]

Even this week some construction workers in mandera were murdered, story imekanyagiwa.

Fatalities in North Eastern must have reached 300 by now, those guys over at Vigilance have very little regard for Kenyans safety. Hizo ng'ombe should have performance.targets in their terms of service, wakishindwa kutimiza mtu arudi kwao.

Who gives permission

The Pentagon, CIA, FBI, MI5, and in Russia the corresponding intelligence agencies.
Nobody wants their mitary secrets sold to just anybody.

Ni pesa tu hatuna, many countrieshave capable heli gunships, US, Russia, China, Turkey, hell even S.A. Mmoja akikataa unageukia mwenzie

All the countries you list have formidable economies and military forces. If we cannot even replace a ferry to cross 250 meters of water, we have no business acquiring gunships. Za nini?
