Gakuru, I took the State to court 4 years ago; the matter has never been heard. Unfortunately, being in court, it even can't be discussed openly. They control the courts. If there is anything more you know than I do, I would like to hear it. So/And that would be a wrong excuse not to ask queries.

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

Although 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.
