[kictanet] Red Card for the Sheikhs

Tue Apr 27 09:08:19 EAT 2010

The Minister of InfoCom pointed out the Mandera action to ban a service
(DSTV) licensed by the Govt is illegal. Under the current constitution one
can argue that such action is constitutionally applicable not to the DSTV
service but to those who profess the faith at the 10 mile Kenyan coastal
strip. Under the new constitution the limits are thrown out and WILL
constitutionally apply to Muslims ANYWHERE in Kenya including Mandera.

What do Kenyans expect after the disregard they are showing for the faith
that founded the best schools in Kenya (including Alliance, Precious Blood,
Strathmore)? Increased BPO?

Maybe medics looking to make a quick buck from unecessary surgeries /
operations will start more Mission Hospitals all over rural Kenya, reduce
crime and help us attract more Foreign Direct Investment.
