@Philip and others are suggesting structure and formation of skunks into something more. To prevent the thread from being buried under other contributions, have created a new thread.

News Discussion Forum (The inside story)
by David Mugo 14 Dec '09

Guys, KTNs James Bond style journalism appears to have gone off track to keep an audience in the highly competitive media we got in Kenya. Am surprised to learn that KTN had an interest in car track business and that is why they took down track it. I may not have the facts but also, on a recent report from KRA, it shows that the story they ran "Port of impunity had wrong facts. Seems all taxes were paid already according to requirements.

Devolution a boon for local software developers!
by Peter Muchemi 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Considering that a YES for devolution will lead to the creation of many independent units (counties, regional governments), which are too poor to afford expensive ERPs like SAP and Oracle, they will be a fertile marketing ground for local developers with reasonably priced and quality software.
