[kictanet] Hurricane at the eye of a storm (Yes ? No )

[Collins Areba]

@Barry

It is not the Intruduction of the levy that is the problem, it is why such
levy is introduced that I have a problem with. If players can lobby for a
levy to be introduced to make a competitor less effective then whats to
stop them from leaving it at just that?
