[kictanet] FYI - Malili to be fenced

[ikua at lpakenya.org]

I think we are getting a bit lost on this debate on Malili.
As far as management goes, there are the strategic issues, the  
tactical issues and the procedural issues. If we look out for every  
little matter of procedure that is being done, then we lose the big  
picture.
This forum would do well to discuss the strategic issues that the  
Government gets into, and sometimes the tactical ones. otherwise we  
will soon be wanting to find out what was the gauge of the wire that  
was used to fence, and how many metres apart the poles were.
It would be good to have a rough idea of the kind of infrastructure  
the government intends to put up there. Some investors would actually  
want this info so that they can be planning on how to take advantage  
of the opportunities that will arise.
