Well it is within the democratic right of the PS to comment on the issue at least he gave an opinion which i tend to agree with but need some more education on the pricing of calls, i also think CCK has attained a certain level of independence contrary to what our good friend Brainiac says, (i stand to be corrected on this) we need input from economists on the long term effects of this price changes to the industry considering the fact that we have not yet attained Universal Access, there are some parts like Archers Post in Eastern that dont have very good coverage, i have an uncanny feeling they might not be sustainable in the long run, i would love to hear the opinion of technocrats on this lists, either way the government needs to set a level playing field to guarantee stability of businesses.<div>

The PS should have said the government will get less tax and not<br>
derailment of the constitution implementation.<br>
<br>
I think this is just a way of making Kenyans guilty of swtiching to a<br>
lower tarrif, lest the 'constitution will not be implemented'.<br>
<br>
Seriously, how many taxes do we pay directly and or indirectly to the<br>
government?<br>
<br>
Talk about a selfish government.<br>
