[kictanet] State House moves in to quell mobile price wars

[Walubengo J]

By Macharia kamau, 

A
 presidential directive freezing the reduction of mobile termination 
rates (MTRs) has rendered irrelevant a prime ministerial task force set 
up to establish how reduced MTRs affect the economy and mobile phone operators.

I get worried when I read headlines like these.  Is it really true or a case of being misquoted. I have a big problem when a Regulator receives explicit instructions from Statehouse=President? particularly when we have been successfull in pretending that the Regulator is truly independent. 

In the new constitutional dispensation, this can quite backfire and leave more egg on Statehouse..
