Alex Like I have said it everywhere and my friend is even updating his twitter with it all the time and started the facebook campaign, let Ndemo not take us for fools MO On 8/14/09, Gakuru Alex <alexgakuru.lists@gmail.com> wrote:
@David,
I am typing this very far from where I work - because my internet connection, once again, automagically 'developed technical problems' immediately after i posted that message.
Frankly, I am not sorry even for a single letter on that email.Eenough is enough!

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.

What a long optics fibre lie the whole thing was...
---Business Daily---
"we do not anticipate that [Internet] prices will drop as drastically as initially indicated or within a short time-frame"
< http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Company%20Industry/-/539550/639386/-/u8ar...
"..it was planning to implement an immediate 24 per cent discount on its internet charges and promised higher discounts once connections to international fibre optic links went live by the end of next month.."

---summary--- in short, consumers are going to continue being ripped-off while a just too comfortable "hands-off" government sits back pretentiously expecting "market-forces" to push prices down -
The way I see it? we have several options a) to demand government officers( Ndemo & Co.) who promised cheap internet to resign, b) demand regulator to wake up and proactively set the prices c) continue living in a denial and that,hopefully, one day we will have "affordable" internet in Kenya.
Where is Bitange Ndemo and and why did he lie to us and raised Kenyans' hopes for cheap internet? we shall have serious problems to believe anything he promises henceforth. He should resign if internet prices do not go down as he promised.
And who runs this country anyway? telecommunication companies or the government and the regulator?
