Agosta, I did exactly that in order to get the info you find now on the Tumblr: http://iebctechkenya.tumblr.com/ (well, all except walk there, I hear Bomas isn't taking walk-ins at the moment). :) Most people actually in Bomas who know what is going on all answer that they feel uncomfortable commenting. The responses are coming by the way of their press/media relations now (see Safaricom release on the above link or me chatting with Dorothy from Google). That's not a problem, it's just to point out that it took us directly querying to start opening up some of the information. We still don't have all of it. I fail to see the problem with trying to find out facts and make them open to find and read. I actually care a lot less about appointing blame, I want to know how it's built, who's doing what, and what went wrong.

Your eloquent response missed my questions so let me highlight it for you again:
Since you keep telling us to expect things to fail and then expect them to be fixed why don't you tell us WHAT failed and WHAT is being fixed. Simple enough. If you don't want to tell us what is failing and what is being fixed then tell us WHY you can not tell us. Is it that you don't know, in which case you should join is trying to find out WHAT is going on.
Maybe this will bring in more grants .....
You constantly advise us to speak from a position of evidence. On this I will hold you to the same high standards that you, rightly, expect from us. If you have any information on who is receiving grants for questioning the IEBC then please share it with all of us here publicly. (But please answer my question first so that we do not get distracted into side shows!)
