[kictanet] NIGERIA HAS DONE IT in 2 YEARS!

[Ngigi Waithaka]

Muraya,

Tell them.

Who would like to bet that if our Ministry Of Agriculture wanted to

Here is the clause that some guy at some parastatal will insert...

"... Evidence of at least 3 similiar implementations in at least 3
different continents..."
