I feel it's time Orange ate the humble pie. This wars with government<br>
are just distracting the company and they now also look like the<br>
company is fighting with patriotism by extension.<br>
<br>
Wouldn't it be more easier to sweet talk GoK for tax and other<br>
incentives rather than arm twist it?<br>

Telecom saga<br>
Listers<br>
<br>
In an interesting twist CCK has issued a warning and threat of punitive<br>
action against Telkom Kenya/France Telecom in what it calls 'unprocedural'<br>
transfer of shares.<br>
<br>
In light of this I think CCK is stepping up and doing the right thing. Lets<br>
go one step further:-<br>
<br>
The Government should face up to the fact that this was a failed experiment<br>
and put in place mechanisms to return the 'crown jewel' back to the Kenyan<br>
People.<br>
