[kictanet] Abuse of KICTANET forum by Biz.Daily journalist

[Grace Mutung'u (Bomu)]

Blog of the week is a columnett in the Business Daily that features
interesting blogs as they appeared on the Net...it usually runs on
Mondays (I think) and it seems not to be on the online paper.

Sometime back Kachwanya of Bloggers Association was also featured. See
http://www.kachwanya.com/business-daily-blog-of-the-week-kachwanya-com/

Seems like a collection of stories from the public domain....
