[kictanet] Lighter bread now 150 per cent of pre-NARC prices

[Alex Gakuru]

Jeez! It's worse that I thought about bread.

"Price of bread goes up as its weight falls"

Making one ask why "The State will in addition use
Sh70 million to spur the growth of business processing
and outsourcing (BPO) and another Sh140 million to set
up an ICT advisory board." This Board is twice as
important at the work that will be done (by the usual
suspects?)

Internet cost will not drop much even after the cable
connect Kenya. Private interest will ensure high
prices remain. Brace yourselves for expensive internet
for the next 20 years (lifespan of fibre cable) 

Despite Kimunya's 600 billion annual budget,
government cannot afford TEAMS US$ 100 million (shs 7
billion) and they are looking for private investors
under "PPP". GoK can/should construct the whole cable
and ask CCK to determine "Open Access" tariffs to save
20-year price Kenyans will pay to these private
entities. It does not add up!     

But you see, Kimunya can afford a paltry 1 billion to
the project 1 billion to the youth and 2 billion to
women? (with UN's, total package for women 7 billion
and thanks all now men also want an equal 5 billion to
maintain gender parity)

TEAMS could end up "the long cable lie" and costly to
future commissions of inquiry.

Have I provoked why consumer protection threatens
National(s) interests? Rattling mean anti-consumer
protection "over-dogs" is serious business deserving
innovative advocacy.

Haki Kenya kuna matata mingi.
