[kictanet] Legislation and Regulation for e-Commerce in Kenya

Thu Jul 10 08:32:19 EAT 2008

Hi Kevit,

I have been following the many comments on KIF the past two days.
May I suggest that KIF calls a meeting at some point with all its associated 
Associations to iron out any issues and chart a way forward on how the 
groups can work representatively in KEPSA? I think that may address the 
"transparency" queries I am seeing on emails on KICTANET.

Kind regards,

Gilda Odera
