<div>Hi Robert</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I refer to the mail below.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd like to apologize for the inconvenience. This is actually the first I am hearing of this.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I did some basic follow up, and I am told there was a problem with the invoicing. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If this was the situation, then I hope you understand that from out Finance departments point of view, they cannot release any payments without receiving any invoice. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have had situations previously that brought up some questions with auditing. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you were not appraised of this in good time, then kindly let me know, so that I can follow up with the responsible people.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, if there is anything else that you think came into play that I may not be aware about, kindly let me know. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We strive to ensure that we build a business based on 'good relationships' and this situation is obviously not an example of this. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looking forward to hearing from you.</div>
<div><br>
</div>

<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times, serif; ">
<span>Hi,</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times, serif; ">
<span><br>
</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times, serif; ">
<span>I think many of those promoting e-commerce and related solutions are doing the initiative a disservice by by being transparent and trustworthy actions that we keep us aware from fully exploiting the opportunities that keep presenting themselves.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times, serif; ">
<span><br>
</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times, serif; ">
<span>I recently interacted with a site called Mocallity both as a vendor and consumer of the their deals (a product similar to groupon) unfortunately the experiences have left me with a sour taste in my mouth. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times, serif; ">
<span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span><font size="3">If anyone our there knows how to get in touch with the managers/owners of Mocality please forward this on to them before the issue blows out of </font>proportion and rubbishes the gains we have made so far in e-commerce.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times, serif; ">
<span><br>
</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times, serif; ">
<span>Vendor - I used the service to promote a seminar I was ran about 2 months ago, the response was impressive as I got 11 registrations, unfortunately I am yet to receive the payments from Mocality even though they received payment from the participants
on registration for the seminar. Things have gotten so scary now that they are not even responding to my emails</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times, serif; ">
<span><br>
</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times, serif; ">
<span>Consumer issue 1 - I participated in one of the deals and bought tickets for ice skating, they send me confirmation by SMS but when I arrived at Panari to redeem the coupons they insisted that I bring printouts of the coupons. I wonder why send me the
coupons details by SMS then still expect me to carry physical coupons. It would be like safaricom sending you a SMS confirming receipt of funds then sending you a cheque to bank by post. We need to either embrace technology wholly as Mama Mboga has or not
at all.</span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times, serif; ">
<span>Consumer issue 2 - More recently I again participated in a deal by Mocality, I must be the sucker for pain, where I bought some glass storage bowls. After the deal closed it took them 3 days to finally deliver them to me but only after 5 phone calls,
10 emails and a post on their website otherwise it would have taken longer.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times, serif; ">
<span><br>
</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times, serif; ">
Let us get it clear that e-commerce is commerce and in both cases you need a reliable supply chain system even if what you are supplying is a service. In addition you cannot maintain the brick on mortar mentality when dealing with an online business, in Mocalities
case the customer service works from 8:30-4:30 Monday to Friday for both voice and email requests.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times, serif; ">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times, serif; ">
I am generally an advocate of an industries self regulation but when it fails I will not hesitate to pull out the "sirikali tusaidie" trump card.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times, serif; ">
