[kictanet] Kenya's Peculiar Business Environment

[badru Ntege]

Apologies never meant to offend generalized questions not directed 
anywhere.  
I hereby withdraw my questions and curiosity on the matter. 

Though still wonder whether my comments were out of context for this 
forum. 
If so once again accept my apologies, and left to wonder how far one 
might express an opinion without supposedly crossing some line.

I raised questions looking for answers ??  .....but it seems that is 
none of my business. 

Curios to hear from anyone else on this.

my .005 cents
