TonyVery good point. Infact I wonder how in the first place did this company or companies accept to do work in a country like Ethiopia without ensuring they have ALL the relevant licenses and government approvals. We all know Ethiopia is one of the most oppressive countries in the world right now. Chasing dollars without enduring you are on the right side of the law is simply criminal. They ought to be charged for reckless endangerment of their employees' lives.Ali HusseinPrincipalHussein & Associates+254 0713 601113"Discovery consists in seeing what everyone else has seen and thinking what no one else has thought". ~ Albert Szent-GyörgyiSent from my iPadUnsubscribe or change your options at https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mWhat I find most disgusting in this case is that they appear to have
been totally abandoned by their employer! It is easy to blame
'serikali', but the employer should have been on the ground with
competent lawyers etc. to resolve this - *not* "we couldn't find the
ambassador" for 2 years!!
RIP Zak.

It is bad in this day and age forpublic servants to ignore requests from the public, anyone who knowthis issue well should enlighten us but as an ICT community we mustsay no to the way this issue appears to be handled in a pedestrianmanner with the same breath that we opposed the ICT bill.We need to join hands and petition the government on this matter.Justice be our shield and defender May we dwell in unity, Peace andliberty, Plenty be found within our bordersRegardsOn 12/17/16, Ali Hussein via kictanet <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote: ListersSaddest news.
