Central Bank did not pick some standard developed somewhere to justify not increasing the transaction value limit, they looked at the local scenario and made a local decision.</div><div><br></div><div>KIXP is failing with the so called open systems approach, we need to develop a solution that will meet our requirements just like we shall soon do with the Ocampo 6, lets stop following other peoples strategies blindly we need out own unique approach. A believe Uganda has gone one up on us as per a previous
contribution on this thread.</div><div><br></div><div>Lets avoid copy pasting issues like one Kisia who copies bylaws and even forgot to change street names.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards<br> </div>Robert Yawe<br>KAY System Technologies Ltd<br>Phoenix House, 6th Floor<br>P O Box 55806 Nairobi, 00200<br>Kenya<br><br><div>Tel: +254722511225, +254202010696<div><br></div><div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><br><div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Walubengo J <jwalu@yahoo.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> robert yawe <robertyawe@yahoo.co.uk><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cc:</span></b> KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Thu, 13 January,

Dr. Ndemo and a "Govt" IXP?- to me its sounds like a contradiction of terms because by nature IXPs tend to be "open
systems" rather than closed to one stakeholder. Of which government can and should have.
