[kictanet] Kibaki, Raila meddling stalls CCK actions

Thu Aug 30 18:52:47 EAT 2012

Bwana Ndemo,

You state that "I think it will be unfair to make any judgement before you hear from both the President and the Prime Minister."

How do you suggest that the industry stakeholders should hear from the 2 Principals as we are all very concerned by what was posted on KICTANET?. Should we have a similar arrangement like Grace did with Eng. Kidenda on the issue of Thika Road?

>From the many posts on this list, you can clearly tell that stakeholders have many questions and issues to raise? Most have gone unanswered. 

Look forward to your advice.

Edith

Solomon,
The Nation never accused me of corruption and I never put up a spirited campaign. The Nation simply said that EACC was investigating me for using a direct method in procuring Konza.  I questioned their sincerity in publishing the article during the Konza conference when the matter had been in public domain for over a year.  I also expressed my feelings towards what I thought was unfair timing.  You can read my post once more.

I think it will be unfair to make any judgement before you hear from both the President and the Prime Minister. There are structures of communicating with our leadership. As for me, I need time to first check what needs to be said and what cannot be said due to legal implications.

I write this while seated at a funeral in Muranga and not having all the resources. It is only fair to say that I cannot comment for now.

Ndemo.

Dr. Ndemo, even though you've opted to go silent on this one, I think,
just like you put up a spirited defence when the Nation accused you of
corruption on Konza Tech City, you need to satisfy our curious desire.
The Executive, to which by extent you are a part of, should never
meddle with the telecommuniction sector since this is a liberalized
economy.
If you got the said letters from State House and PM's office, let us
know - we just can't be held at ransom by a few individuals - even the
President who is no longer above the law - to suit their own
interests. This state of affair reminds me of JM Kariuki and his ten
millionaires and ten million poor.

As such, I'm invoking  Article 35 (Sub-Article 1 parts a and b and
Sub-article 3), of the constitution.

Solomon
