I'm trying to log on to CCK's website (www.cck.go.ke) to download "Sector Legislation and Regulations" and I'm getting a 503. Now how do I get these regulations? -- *Solomon Mbũrũ Kamau* ***************************************************** *Man is a gregarious animal and enjoys agreement as cows will graze all the same way to the side of a hill!* AND *It is better to die in dignity than in the ignominy of ambiguous generosity! * http://smiley2.wordpress.com http://mburu.sikika.co.ke

Safaricom featuring Money Matters
by David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

I have just watched Money Matters hosted by Larry and it's amazing how a whole program was featuring Safaricom. For starters I have never understood the media's obsession with Michael Joseph and the unending romance follows him post "retirement" (sic). I have worked in a media's business desk and I know that there are plenty of business stories but the journalists/reporters don't want to go after difficult stories which is very inexplicable. Cmon dude we can do better than this. We need much less Safaricom stories in our faces.

Lessons from PesaPal misspelling by Business Daily
by Dennis Kioko 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

So, Business daily, in an entire article ( http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/PayPal%20launches%20school%20fees%20paym…) referred to Pesapal as Paypal, and KoT(Kenyans on Twitter) into a frenzy blaming the papers editor. IMO, if you plan to garner some ground by naming your product similar to a leader, you have to be ready to bear the cross of being seen as the same firm. Those goys making Nukia and Nokla might find it hard if they launched the revolutionary phone and CNN reported that it had been launched by Nokia. If you launching a Unique search engine, if it has no relations with Google, dont name it Gaegle -- with Regards: The Chinese are known to be entrepreneurs, and coupled with some imagination, are now playing the role of nature in food and beverage production. http://gramware.blogspot.com/2011/01/chinese-way-to-become-imaginative.html
