by Ali Hussein 25 Oct '16

Listers Interesting article. My sense on what's going on in the country is this:- The new constitution is being tested in ways that we should be prepared for. And for every detractor who wants to take us back to the bad old days there are 10 who will fight for it. I commend CS Mucheru for throwing his hat on the good side of history. http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Mucheru-says-draft-law-on-blogger-video-… Regards Ali Hussein Principal Hussein & Associates +254 0713 601113 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: abu-jomo LinkedIn: http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim "Discovery consists in seeing what everyone else has seen and thinking what no one else has thought". ~ Albert Szent-Györgyi Sent from my iPad
