[kictanet] D. Migration - CAK Needs to Educate the Average Kenyan!

Thu Feb 19 10:54:21 EAT 2015

Hi Edith,

My only point is that the blame cannot be apportioned to CAK.

I believe they did their part.

That Kenyan on the street who isn't aware will NEVER be aware. I believe.
You cannot force awareness on anyone.
