[kictanet] MPs open probe on data expiry, Safaricom Bonga points

Thanks for sharing this. This is what happens when we lack a clear policy
on Net Neutrality and the usage in general. What the lawmakers are doing is
what we in Kiswahili call 'kutapatapa' or in English to be all over the
place.

Let this be something that we as an industry take up with the lawmakers and
work with them to come up with solid policies to address this issue.
