I watched and what became abundantly clear is that today Parliament conducted a witchhunt.
With regards to the various recent disposals I think anyone who has been watching closely has seen that efficient options in due process was followed. I must actually venture to congratulate the government at the speed with which they have been able to process these deals. Previous govts have failed miserably in offloading some of these behemoths.
Whether Kimunya is a witch or not - time will tell - unfortunately most 'witches' have been burnt alive by the time the truth that they are innocent comes out .... c'est la vie

I hope PS Ndemo is/has been watching the proceedings in Parliament (re Hon. Kimunya Censor Debate re Grand Regency, Safaricom IPO, Telkom Kenya, etc!!!).

Mmmhhh makes me wonder about this Grand Regency thing. And many other things.

Date: Sunday, June 22, 2008, 11:01 AMAlthough in telcom sector the law requiores local partnership, what the research
is telling us is not a problem but an opportunity that we must take advantage
of. The Tea estates referred to here have changed hands several times. It is
therefore imperative that when they float them, we shall mobilize resources to
buy them out.
It is not enough to complain and leave the issue to die. There is need to
educate our people that in a capitalist economy, there are exit routs to pride
ourselves with ownweship of our properties. Some advamced countries own far
less than 31 percent of their assets.
We are fortunate that the investment bug has hit Kenya if Safaricom IPO is
anything to go by. Unless we want to radically change our economic orientation
with respect to ownership, which I know it is not possible, there is nothing to
fuss about.
Way forward, mobilize resources the Transcentury way and buy out all that which
is owned by foreiners. They did not steal what they own. They simply caught us
napping.
