[kictanet] Company sues Treasury over eCitizen payments

[Barrack Otieno]

Hi GG,

This is a governance issue, it would be good to know why the treasury
took this initiative. Be that as it may, this is not good, Trust is
very important for any online based system, as soon as it is eroded
the system is gone.

Best Regards
