The Minister of InfoCom pointed out the Mandera action to ban a service (DSTV) licensed by the Govt is illegal. Under the current constitution one can argue that such action is constitutionally applicable not to the DSTV service but to those who profess the faith at the 10 mile Kenyan coastal strip. Under the new constitution the limits are thrown out and WILL constitutionally apply to Muslims ANYWHERE in Kenya including Mandera.<br>
<br>What do Kenyans expect after the disregard they are showing for the faith that founded the best schools in Kenya (including Alliance, Precious Blood, Strathmore)? Increased BPO? <br><br><a href="http://www.domainnews.com/en/icann-increases-nairobi-meeting-security-investigates-enhanced-remote-participation.html">http://www.domainnews.com/en/icann-increases-nairobi-meeting-security-investigates-enhanced-remote-participation.html</a><br>
<br>Maybe medics looking to make a quick buck from unecessary surgeries / operations will start more Mission Hospitals all over rural Kenya, reduce crime and help us attract more Foreign Direct Investment.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Did I miss some news?<br>
<br>
I thought what I happened in North Eastern (Mandera) to be specific was a decree that even the Kenyan chief's proclaim from time to time in "Christian" Kenya. When this happens it affects both Christian and Muslim youth alike.<br>
<br>
I am bound to be corrected but this is happening not under the new Constitution but the current one and so my question is what has it got to do with the new constitution? What has it got to do with the Kadhi's courts or any of those parts being contested?<br>
<br>
I really think that as reasonable and kind Christ followers, we must ask ourselves, what's Christ do?<br>
<br>
