When you see "technicality" card being brandished, it simply means no one spoke to any body! It will take generations before "we" learn to put our national interest above individualistic short-term gain interest. It is terrible, it is bad!

Just been reading this article, http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Corporate+News/Nation++Royal+Media+lose+a..., and the print lacks the details but also a reflection is what is happening in developing countries.
Did the local media group have the technical and financial capability to operate signal distribution platforms and roll out the services, yet got dropped out because of tender technicalities. How is this possible? Are we saying kenyans are totally incapable of understanding the requirements or commitments of such national projects?
I hope the affected parties do an indepth review of why they lost out and share that information with kenyans. We need to know, because I'm sure the local media groups were also going to buy technology platforms and implement roll out so issues like delays due to internal manufacture or creation do not even arise.
Some thoughts.
Thank you.
