[kictanet] [Skunkworks] Are we letting the PS get away with this too?

[Barrack Otieno]

Well it is within the  democratic right of the PS to comment on the issue at
least he gave an opinion which i tend to agree with but need some more
education on the pricing of calls, i also think CCK has attained a certain
level of independence contrary to what our good friend Brainiac says, (i
stand to be corrected on this)  we need input from economists on the long
term effects of this price changes to the industry considering the fact that
we have not yet attained Universal Access, there are some parts like Archers
Post in Eastern  that dont have very good coverage, i have an uncanny
feeling they might not be sustainable in the long run, i would love to hear
the opinion of technocrats on this lists, either way the government needs to
set a level playing field to guarantee stability of businesses.

Best Regards
