Talk of the Day as Manchester Clubs crash-out of Champions' League

In England, it is the time for Londoners and not Manchesters

CNN quotes : Manchester United and their city rivals Manchester City both made embarrassing exits from the Champions League on Wednesday.

Roy Keane on BBC : Man U ...."I think their best player tonight was Ryan Giggs. That sums it up - he's 37 or 38, you can't be depending on him. United got what they deserved tonight.


Fergie on Al-Jazeera "We're disappointed, there's no other way you can feel,'' .....
"It's a loss because it's the best tournament in the world."


Supersport says....Manchester United and Manchester City will begin 2012 scrapping with the also-rans of European football after ignominious Champions League exits .......... So used to dining with the continents's aristocrats in the second half of the season, the English champions now face the prospect of the less salubrious and much maligned Europa League.


Skysport narrates ...Manchester's nightmare scenario became a grim reality as both United and City were sent crashing out of the UEFA Champions League before the knockout stage.
Failing to progress from a group containing Otelul Galati, Benfica and Basel must surely rank as one of the lowest points in the managerial career of Sir Alex Ferguson, who could only look on stony-faced as his side were beaten 2-1 away by the Swiss side to slip below their opponents and into the Europa League.



Anyway.....I was looking for positive comments about Manchester Clubs, but I just end up into those.... eventually I abandon  further searching!!

Goodluck Manchesters in Europa League

Kenya Taxpayers Money Thrashed: Milimani courts ‘falling apart’

When you look at this photo.... It sounds like a very beatiful building.....

It cost Kenya Taxpayers' money amounting to 1 Billion Kenyan shillings for its renovations which lasted for 8 years since it was commenced!

Kenyan Chief Justice, Willy Mutunga after he toured the premises and witnessed the shoddy job on the building, which cost Sh1 billion. He said .... "To refer to this building as ultra modern is to insult both the English language and the intelligence of Kenyans,"

 
Mutunga sums all this as “administrative corruption and incompetence” and he had no kind words for professionals involved in the work.

  
Barely 10 months after it was commissioned, Chief Justice Willy Mutunga has sounded alarm over the safety of judicial staff and Kenyans using the building whose ceiling has caved-in, with water leaking all over. 

  
Door handles in almost all floors have broken down, lifts including the VIP ones stopped working and the water leakages keep on triggering electric faults.

Ni siku ya Uchaguzi DR Congo na Egypt

Wapinzani wakidhibitiwa na askari wa Congo katika viunga vya jiji la Kinshasa

Leo ni siku ya uchaguzi wa rais na wabunge katika nchi ya Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Kongo (DRC)
Katika kampeni za kujinadi kwa wagombea, kulikuwa na matukio mengi ya uvunjifu wa amani ambapo polisi walilazimika kutumia mabomu ya kutoa machozi kuwatawanya wafuasi wa vyama mbalimbali waliokuwa wanapingana. 
Katika kampeni, lugha mbalimbali zilitumika kama njia ya mawasiliano kutegemea na mahali kampeni za kisiasa zilipokuwa zikifanyaika. Lugha kuu zilizotumika zaidi katika kampeni hizo ni Kilingala, Kifaransa na Kiswahili.  
   
Huu utakuwa ni uchaguzi wa kwanza wa kipekee kwa muda mrefu, kwani gharama za uchaguzi huu zimegharimiwa na nchi ya Kongo yenyewe.

Askari wa Misri karibu na Tahrir square

Wakati huo huo, nchi ya Misri nayo leo inafanya uchaguzi wake wa kuwachagua wabunge wa mabunge mawili ya nchi hiyo.  
Itakumbukwa kwa wiki kadhaa sasa kulikuwa na maandamano ya kuipinga serikali ya Kijeshi inayotawala nchi ya Misri baada ya kiongozi wake wa siku nyingi, Hosni Mubarak kuachia madaraka kufuatia shinikizo la wananchi kumtaka kuondoka madarakani, ambapo alitii baada ya vurugu kubwa kuzidi nje ya uwezo wa utawala wake.  
  
Pia kwa Misri, uchaguzi huu unahesabika kuwa wa uhuru zaidi kwa miaka zaidi 30 iliyopita.
Kulikuwa na matukio ya ucheleweshaji wa makaratasi ya kupigia kura kwenye vituo kadhaa vya Cairo na Alexandria.  
  
Tunawaombea wamalize uchaguzi kwa amani ili waweze kizijenga nchi zao.

Ugonjwa wa Katiba Mpya Tanzania:Unatibiwa kwa Kidonge cha Rangi Mbili

Siku chache zimepita baada ya Bunge la Jamhuri ya Muungano ya Tanzania kuridhia muswada wa sheria utakaongoza na kuratibu jinsi ya kukusanya maoni ya katiba mpya. Japo wabunge wa Upinzani kwa idadi kubwa waliususia kabisa kwa kile kinachodaiwa kuletwa na kusomwa huku vipengele kadhaa vya sheria vikiwa vimevunjwa.  
  
Muswada ndio umeshapita, na rais Kikwete alithibitisha pale alipokuwa akiongea na "wazee wa Darisalama" japo kuna wengine hata mimi nilikuwa nawazidi umri japo sina sifa kamili ya kuitwa Mzee, nao walikuwa humo ati kama wazee! Mhesh. Rais aliahidi kuuwekea sahihi muswada uliopitishwa na wabunge (ambao kwa karibu asilimia 80 ya michango yao walikuwa nje kabisa ya muswada wenyewe), ili uwe sheria rasmi na kuanza kutumika mara moja. 
Pia aliwaagiza wabunge wa CCM mara alipokutana nao baada ya kikao cha bunge kilichoupitisha muswada huo kuwahi majimboni kwenda kueleza ujio wa neema na kiu ya katiba mpya kwa wananchi wanaowawakilisha.  
  
Hali hii ilichafuliwa na taarifa ya kamati teule ya bunge iliyoundwa kumchunguza David Jairo (ama vijana wanavyomuita DJ) kuwasilisha taarifa yao ambayo ilikuwa inachafua maana ya maadili ya kiuongozi. Kuna mapendekezo mengi tu yalitolewa ikiwa ni pamoja na kuchukuliwa hatua za kinidhamu ikijumuisha wote waliotajwa kwa makosa ikiwa ni pamoja na waziri Ngeleja akidaiwa alipewa takrima ya sh. 4M ambazo ni kinyume na matumizi ya fedha za uma. 
 
Nahisi wabunge wengi wa CCM watakuwa na wakati mgumu kwenda kuiuza rasimu ya katiba itakayokuja, na mijadala itahamia kwenye pengo la uadilifu lililo onyeshwa na baadhi ya watendaji wa serikali tawala na kuwa kigezo cha kukataa vifungu vitakavyoletwa.
Kuna viashiria ambata kwa sasa kuwa mwaka 2015 utakuwa mgumu sana kwa serikali iliyopo madarakani kukubalika, labda kama kutakuwa na kipengele cha kuchomeka serikali ya umoja wa kitaifa au yaje mabadiliko makubwa sana yatakayofanyika sasa kubadili fikra za watu wanaotaka mabadiliko ya kisiasa kwa mazuri au la, yaani, people they just want a change...   
  
Kuna taarifa zisizo rasmi kwamba katibu mkuu kiongozi anatarajiwa kustaafu mwishoni mwa mwezi ujao mwaka huu, labda itakuwa ni fursa ya kuachia ngazi bila kupoteza haki zake za muda aliolitumikia Taifa, kwa wale mtakaotaka kusema muda Taifa lililomtumikia ni nyie, na wala sio mimi. 
  
Watendaji wengine wa wizara ya nishati na madini inasemekana wameanza kujiandaa kukaa benchi, na pia mkaguzi mkuu wa hesabu za serikali naye inawezekana hajui nini kitafuata hasa baada ya kumsafisha DJ na baadaye kuonekana kama taarifa yake aliiandikia kwenye kituo cha daladala bila kupitia hesabu kamili ili kubaini kasoro. Pia kuna wingu la shaka kwa sasa liko juu yake kuhusu utendaji wake wa kazi, japo anasifika kwa umakini wa kwenye hesabu za halmashauri za miji na wilaya. 
  
Tunachosubiri ni Kitendawili au bomu?!!
