[kictanet] PS Ndemo, ECONET Scandal aand Vested Interests

Tue Oct 7 19:13:01 EAT 2008

I agree totally.

Sounds like someone needs to do something more productive than try to  
insinuate there is anything wrong here with Kenya becoming a more  
investor friendly and respectful environment...  Perhaps this person  
needs to put their own money where their mouth is and then they will  
get a very different perspective about how they would like their money  
to be used if they were to invest in anything substantial in Kenya...

It is Econet's investors' money.  It is not Kenya's money...

Do we want the investment in Kenya, the competition, the jobs, the  
participation of Essar, or do we want to play a nationalistic game  
based on rich and passively investing Kenyans getting the lion's share  
of someone's investment in Kenya, just because they are powerful and  
the law mandates that they they should have a piece of someone else's  
hard earned investment?  The wananchi wouldn't share in any Econet  
investment even if it were still required by the law to have a local  
partner, it would be some Mobiletea kinds of individuals who would  
slide up to Econet and scare them into partnering with the locals...  
just the same way as it always has been in Kenya and in such countries  
that adopt such market distorting and investment unfriendly policies...

Bravo, Daktari Ndemo!
