[kictanet] State House moves in to quell mobile price wars

By Macharia kamau, A presidential directive freezing the reduction of mobile termination rates (MTRs) has rendered irrelevant a prime ministerial task force set up to establish how reduced MTRs affect the economy and mobile phone operators. By the Standard @ http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/InsidePage.php?id=2000036808&cid=14& ~~~~~~~~ I get worried when I read headlines like these.  Is it really true or a case of being misquoted. I have a big problem when a Regulator receives explicit instructions from Statehouse=President? particularly when we have been successfull in pretending that the Regulator is truly independent. In the new constitutional dispensation, this can quite backfire and leave more egg on Statehouse.. walu.
