[kictanet] Seacom goes live- wait for TEAMS

[Onyango Hatari]

Ndugu Joseph

Can you be specific on who used bad language on you or is ignorant? I think that you are skirting issues here and wishing them away. I also dont know if you want us to book appointment with your office everytime we have one because of your online policy? 

What I asked were very specific and I still need to know when Kenyan currency started expiring. I am ready to book an appointment with you if thats the only way you would address them.

OH
