Very balanced story. It doesn't still answer the question as to why these proposals by different governments aren't public knowledge..It just gives new meaning to the swahili word - Siri Kali (For those on the list that may not understand the swahili words its a play on the words Serikali, swahili for Government. So Siri Kali then means loosely Deep Secrets) :-)
What I am glad about though is that this whole debate has put focus on the important issues and that whoever has ulterior motives has been 'outed'. I am also glad that we have a forum like Kictanet that allows us to talk about such issues.
