Dear Madam Florence, This is well noted and most apreciated.

It is not uncommon for consumers to be inundated with such texts in the dead of the night. THE OPT OUT NUMBERS DO NOT WORK AND THE TEXTS KEEP ON COMING. Secondly, the MNOs APPEAR TO SHARE CONSUMER DATA WITH 3RD PARTIES. That explains why traders who have not had any dealings with the CONSUMER keep texting the consumer to advertise their ware. On Energy and Power Consumers need protection from frequent power blackouts - an example is KINANIE AREA OF ATHI RIVER WHERE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY IS DISCONNECTED EVERY SUNDAY AND USUALLY WITHOUT NOTICE!!! Secondly, the billing is most of the time based on ESTIMATES AND THE BILLS ARE UNUSUALLY HIGH. Thirdly, TELEPHONE CALLS ON THE NUMBERS PROVIDED BY KPLC GO UNANSWERED EVEN THOSE GIVEN AS EMERGENCY NUMBERS!!!

Open Source Seed Systems 2018 Call for Applications Access to diverse, high quality and preferred seeds is an issue for small holder farmers in East Africa. The main aim of the Disrupt! Open Source Seed Systems is to get more social entrepreneurs involved that are able and interested to deliver products and services of quality to the small holder farmers. With diverse challenges in relation to access of diverse seeds, social entrepreneurs are expected to win back trust of farmers and deliver good products and services. Secondly social entrepreneurs need to position themselves in times of rapid changes in the sector. Distinguishing oneself from the mainstream development may prove to be a good future option. Seeds that are of good quality and are free and will remain free to save, use and exchange could become important future assets.
