mass media therefore it is not a "public media" so by your definition and assertion by not publishing on public a.k.a social media they have not been open and transparent therefore a travesty has been committed. <br><br>In addition we have more public listening to radio than read newspapers therefore the list of names and all advertisements must be read aloud on radio.<br><br>Regards<br> <br><div>Robert Yawe<br>KAY System Technologies Ltd<br>Phoenix House, 6th Floor<br>P O Box 55806 Nairobi, 00200<br>Kenya</div><div><br><br></div><div>Tel: +254722511225, +254202010696</div><br> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 14pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <hr size="1"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Brian Munyao Longwe <blongwe@gmail.com><br> <b><span style="font-weight:

First we challenge Govt to be open, transparent, use public media to disclose procurement and recruitment processes. Then in the same breath we criticize them when it comes out looking as above? Let us not forget that the guidelines are now firmly entrenched in laws and regulations. Maybe a slightly different tact of discussing what kind of legal framework would support a
more efficient use of various media might be more appropriate?<br clear="none">

<br clear="none"></div><div>For starters, the mobile penetration rate is rather debatable seeing as the CCK doesn't detail how/if they filter through individuals owning multiple lines and whether the lines are active or not. Also whether they are used in active mobile phones or in the "internet of things" i.e ATMs, automated car tracking
gadgets etc. </div>
<div><br clear="none"></div><div>In my estimation the CCK works with Simcards sold. The info on the site also doesn't seem to be unto date. There is also the simple human habit of borrowing newspapers. Upcountry in my home town, the newspaper at the local roadside hotel is read by upwards of 200 people. These are people who wouldn't be bothered with internet on their phones. the few papers sold by the local vendor wind up being read by everybody, from the young to the old. It is also easy to archive the newspaper for reference tomorrow. Try digging up the link to an old article from last week and put yourself in the shoes of a 50 year old who has problems with Mpesa. </div>
