@Solomon, Are you the only one who doesn't know how the Chinese operate? Haven't you heard of the "brown envelop" phenomena? There is nothing as "unclear means". It's the brown envelope, but no one admits it always. I can say for sure that is what has pissed off RMS and the others, because they have the means to run these operations.

I saw the same on NTV news. And I think this is all because both NTV and RMS had tendered for the licence only for some Chinese firm to win it through some unclear means.
I only wonder why this is so and why the government had to handpick the Chinese to do this.

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,

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

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.
