This is one other issue (USF) that MOIC team will never succeed. How can you in all fairness ask for say up to Sh500M p.a from an MSP/MNO and then they have no representation on USF Board and therefore no say on how "their" money is used? The easier part is to gazette the names, the harder part is to get money into the "Fund". Days when people who own no means of production, in whatever sector, purporting to set radical rules are long gone. Regrettably, again, if an MSP/MNO pays such an mount annually, it ups its cost of doing business. Who eventually shoulders such costs?? You and I as consumers. Why is it so difficult for people at MOIC to engage 'stakeholders'? Can't wait to see new faces at the would be State Department (Ministry) in charge of Information and Communications. <br><br>Stephen Mutoro<br><a href="http://www.cofek.co.ke">www.cofek.co.ke</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><div><div><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center;background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><hr size=1 width="100%" align=center></span></div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> Walubengo J <<a href="mailto:jwalu@yahoo.com">jwalu@yahoo.com</a>><br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:smutoro@yahoo.com">smutoro@yahoo.com</a> <br><b>Cc:</b> KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions <<a href="mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke">kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke</a>> <br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, February 25, 2013 10:14 AM<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [kictanet] Fw: [ISOC_KE] allAfrica.com: Kenya: Poghisio Appoints USF Board Members</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div id=yiv812101967><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white'><span style='color:black'>@Kivuva,<br><br>I do follow the PS around the middle class way - on twitter @Bantigo but it hasnt worked :-)<br><br>@ Rigia, the USF thing had not worked since the board had not been appointed and gazetted.
