[kictanet] NIGERIA HAS DONE IT in 2 YEARS!

[S.M. Muraya]

Maybe Kenyan procurement (laws) do not prioritise good leadership
(reputations not associated with bribery + deception) + practical
experience + certification of skills.

Maybe Kenyan procurement officials (if not laws) require 3 five million
dollar deals to cut out Kenyan SME's?

Murigi / Stanley Muraya
