[kictanet] Business In a Time Of Diminishing Trust

Thu Feb 6 13:36:53 EAT 2020

Several years ago, I stopped doing business with Government directly and
only do so through proxies like Well known NGOs, who purchase the mon their
behalf and pay.

Let's not kid each other. We cannot claim to try kill the corruption menace
in Kenya while abetting it.

It was painful but we had to lay off 9 salesmen who could not sell without
bribing.

Killing this worldwide demon starts with you and I.
