[kictanet] Economic Survey 2012

Ali,

full version of this document so that we can interrogate it more deeply?

I picked up one of the previous years surveys before. As far as I know, 
you have to go down to the KNBS offices and pay 1000 Ksh if you want a 
copy - http://www.knbs.or.ke/econsurvey.php

I am not aware of a digital version. Shame really, that this vital 
document is not made publically available online...
