As many readers may have noticed, KSB is conducting an Opinion poll to establish what our readers think about reporting of scandals which has been a hot issue with some readers saying that scandals should not be reported and others insisting that scandals ought to be part of the KSB system.
After 34 votes were cast, those who think that scandals should never be purged from KSB are on the lead with 56%, those who say “No” are at 24% while those who would like to be reading scandals occasionally are at 21%.
What the statistics mean is that KSB readership is generally in favour of “Scandal reports”. The poll is running until September 1st and although the “Yes” sayers are currently in the lead, anything can still happen.
The Opinion poll is part of the democratization process at KSB so that readers can have a say especially on the thorny issues of reporting scandals. In the meantime, scandals that could have hit the headlines by now have been kept on hold as the final outcome of the poll is awaited. Some scandals are so scary that they have had to be sealed in a banker to prevent leakage.
A few days ago, a scandal seeker fired a rocket at KSB’s “Scandal depot” located at WordPress avenue and the damage was extensive. Following the attack, at least four scandals leaked out causing too much gossip in Kenya Stockholm as rumour mills did “booming business”.
After they leaked from the depot, the scandals were carried away by the wind which spread them all over the place. By the time it became apparent that the scandals had leaked, serious “collateral damage” had also been done because some commentators seized on the opportunity to roll out new and unknown scandals in an attempt to widen the scope of discussions, increase gossip levels and expand the scope of rumour mongering in Kenya-Stockholm.
Among the scandals that leaked out was the Hepatitis scandal (which has since been renamed “Typhoon Hepa” by experts), the scandal of the wife who has refused to return to Kenya and the Alicia scandal which shocked some readers.
Technicians at KSB had to work overtime to seal all the holes through which the scandals leaked although damage had already been done. Since then, security at KSB’s scandal plant has been beefed up through the installation of new and advanced systems, security cameras and other gadgets.
For now, the situation is under control although there is no guarantee that “Al-Wanascandali” will not try a new attack that may overwhelm security at the plant leading to a new explosion of new and even more lethal scandals. We hope that readers will vote wisely during the Opinion poll whose result will be respected by KSB reagrdless of the outcome.
