At Springwood in the Blue Mountains just outside Sydney the time is 7pm. In Kenya and Uganda, it is only 11am. Has anything happened? Are the visas any closer? Not that I know of.
Our treasurer, Kerry Bartlett, the local Federal parliamentary member from 1996 till 2007 and the former Chief Whip of the Howard Liberal government, has been in touch with government contacts to try and find out why nothing has happened and whether anything is going to happen.
Our contact with the local Rotary Club, John Lambert, has also been on the phone wanting to know if there has been any movement as our local club is sponsoring the visit of Timon Grodya.
It's all a bit frustrating isn't it?
Will they get the visas?
And then I got an email from Frederick Ngadjole which wasn't that encouraging saying he is having a hard time holding the tickets with Qatar Airlines and that the tickets may be way more expensive than if we had bought them weeks ago.
But this is not unusual in the African context.
We continue to wait expecting good news some time soon.
I'll keep you informed.
