[kictanet] Did I hear Telco CEOs say Everyone is Registered?

[Edith Adera]

Bwana Ndemo,

My beef is with CEOs not telling the truth in public!! You condone it?  

We're good at shifting blame. Telcos and CCK have to play their part, period. If it was not done, they should be held liable.

We are too used to getting away with "below average" in Kenya. 

If the system worked, no unregistered SIM would have been active anyway, you get my point? 

Edith

Edith,
We are just quarrelsome people.  We lack the discipline to: take our
responsibilities seriously, obey the law, be part of the solution and
above all be our brother's keepers.  The Ministry did their best in
pushing for the registration.  It was even forced to change the law in
order to do it legally.  It is for us and operators to follow the law.

As for what the registration will do to evade terrorists, let us do our
part in securing our people.  Traceability is critical in any security
arrangement.


Ndemo.
