    "content": "studied catering or hotel management. With all the love I have for the range and diversity of our innate capabilities, when people come in, sometimes they do not know what they are doing. If you walk into our Members’ Lounge, tea in a big pot and mandazi or cake is brought to you. Nobody asks for it, it is just brought. For heaven’s sake, we can do a lot better than that. As people think seriously about this, our lifestyle is going to be entirely dependent on the diligence and the work that this Committee does. I am on the sixth floor of the Continental House. My office is directly opposite the elevators and the bathrooms are just off to the side. I can tell you that sometimes I wish the public health officials could come by and just close down the whole floor and tell us to go home until it has been taken care of. That is happening frequently. The doors to the washrooms are broken. Where are the repairers for heaven’s sake? Locks to the toilets have malfunctioned. So you have to keep one hand on the door, while in the toilet. That may sound comical but it is not funny at all. We should upgrade and we can upgrade. I bet that the expenditure for running a substandard facility is just as high as the expenditure for running a well maintained facility. Service providers must be able to provide service as needed. If you clean a place and leave the mop right at middle of the room for heaven’s sake, there are many little things that should be done! In my view, this is not a light matter. I know we want to be light-hearted and laugh a bit but this Committee is critical. I conclude by urging again that we want chefs, we do not want just cooks. Chefs have studied and they can go down to Nambale and find a dish they can serve and people like it. They go to Samburu and bring us their speciality. Let us showcase Kenya. We can do that very easily. Thank you very much."
