Was that to woo safcom employees into buying zain SIM cards ???I dont think so...Those trucks are used for promoting products to consumers....it would not make sense if citizen/royal media parked outside KBC offices, blaring music at KBC staff....now that would be childish! �./bernard On Mon, Aug 23, 2010 at 3:11 PM, Solomon Mburu Kamau <solo.mburu@gmail.com> wrote: On 23 August 2010 15:07, Bernard Mwagiru <bmwagiru@gmail.com> wrote: That's childish.... ./bernard Who or what?
