<div>Good morning Wambui, </div>

<div>I was going to give this a rest, but it is way too important. I am not convinced that whatever you did previously has reached the masses, as there is way too much misinformation floating around as has been posted here. I am urging CCK to continue, and
intensify your campaign so all Kenyans have Migration facts straight.</div>

Of course we have not been just waiting for the media to play ball. We aired the public awareness materials through media houses that were not against the migration, mounted road shows in Nairobi, used the social, digital and outdoor media. In addition we put
up mobile clinics, and carried out street and roundabout activations, held an open day at the KICC, and used other events to interact with members of the public. </div>

Top is because she did not want to incur the monthly cost that is sure to come with it. I had to print her the nation report showing her there was no monthly cost and she proceeded to tell me that there were guys selling Set Tops that did not work, which means
there are con-men already at work selling DSTV type devices that will not work without subscriptions, and this is where GOK/CCK should be spending time while we await the court decision on the migration, education (radio, tv, print media, collaborate with
churches etc.) and arresting of any con-men selling the wrong devices. I made sure to let her know the migration was going to happen and it was just a matter of when, not if.</span></div>

I do share @Ngigi's opinion, seeking technological solutions to all our bad<br>
behavior is a favourite pastime of technological determinists, however, we<br>
should view technology as instruments that aid in making the world a better<br>
n easier place to live in. So wht we need is behavior change in our midst n<br>
basic good manners, so that someone does not back up into your car n then<br>
accuse you of having hit them.<br>
<br>
In all fairness, does Doc think that the lady in question won't falsely<br>
accuse the next driver that she does that to just because she already met<br>
one guy whose car was fitted with digital cams? I really doubt it...<br>
