[kictanet] My Evening in Jail (O.K, next to Jail)

Wed Mar 7 20:00:44 EAT 2007

Sir,

Pole sana,

Shows where we are @! with telkom kenya,bringing in new products every other
day,why cant they for example try out a few Wi-Fi hotspots and place the
cops there to use the mentioned facilities...on another note is the KRA
database available to Kenya Police? Is the Imigration Database availabe to
the Police? because there would no point to visit KRA offices...spend
valuable time....doing what? If mkubwa could have been there,could He(Mr.
Walubengo) be released?

Kind regards,
