Round1. The bell rings. The court has stopped the switch over pending
hearing and determination of the case.

If the government cannot subsidize the set boxes, give Kenyans ample
time save for the gadgets.

At the pace some people at CCK and the ministry are moving, I would
not be surprised to learn they have tonnes of containers of setboxes
at Kilindini waiting to pounce on poor man's pockets.
