[kictanet] It's a new twist for Econet Wireless

[bitange at jambo.co.ke]

Dear Mr. Theuri,
Thank you for supplying more details.  You raise many issues here and more
importantly is the fact that you understand the difference between
regulatory and policy.  For smooth running of the industry, the regulator
must be independent.  The current Government at least wants an indepedent
regulator.  We must leave regulatory issues to the regulator.  The Econet
matter is regulatory.  The Government has extricated itself from mixing
regolatory and policy issues.  This is simple and straight forward.

Your problem is the fact that you are a party to the issues sorrounding
Econet and you are not disclosing that to your audiences. At some point I
am told you did not want KNFC to have access to the licence.  Now you are
advocating issuance of the same licence to KNFC.  I deceided to engage
with you in this discussion because I thought you were a sincere Kenyan
interested in seeing justice.  I now know that you cannot in any way see
issues in this matter objectively.  You will therefore excuse met from
further discussion on this issue.  I HAVE RESTED MY CASE.


Regards


Ndemo.
