[kictanet] Digital TV signal Distribution row

[bitange at jambo.co.ke]

Philip,
I know there is corruption in this country but the conclusions you make
are the ones that destroy this country.  I wonder if you you tried to
investigate and make an informed conclusion.

The write up did not meet basic journalistic principles in a case where
the writer is an interested party.  Did it occur to you that there is a
glaring conflict of interest in the matter?

Indeed it will take generations before we learn not to make uninformed
decisions.


Regards



Ndemo.
