Printer Toners
by James Kagwe 08 May '09

08 May '09

Morning, I'm concerned at the increase of counterfeit and refilled toners in the market which are barely delivering as they should in terms of quality and quantity. Would just want to provoke our thoughts on how we can join hands to reduce if not to eliminate them in the market because at the end of the day they affect us either directly or indirectly. I know that these refills form part of our brother and sisters livelihood but have a feeling that the issue is running out of hand.

Sensorship 8~(
by wesley kiriinya 08 May '09

08 May '09

Was listening to BBC and there was something about the events of Tioman (I'm not sure about the spelling) Square in China. I've heard about that event for a long time. I believe China sensors that website from it's citizens. So I tried to google and nothing related to the event came up. I could have mis-spelled Tioman so I was hopping for suggestions for the true spelling. Could this also be censored in Kenya? If someone has a link to something that points to the Tioman events then send me the link. I'm curious about the event. 8~)
