Alex,
I think this is going overboard, how could we judge Ndemo on one
parameter based on a parameter that is this subjective? Bottom-line
what the overall performance of the PS have to do with private ISPs,
using a private company's submarine fiber? While are at it why don't
we demand that Michael Joseph (MD of a Publicly listed company) be
forced tor resign on the same basis?
Please let's tone down our activism for more worthwhile causes.
Kiania.
