Worse still if the US can listen to our Presidents conversation (good to know we are the league of German Prime Minister :-), what is it we are trying to hide in a presidential speech that would be public knowledge before the end of the day :-) This question came up in a previous ConnectedKenya summit in Mombasa but was never convincingly answered. But I think the answer is simple. There has been a budget to airlift the presidents speech since independence. What has been changing is not the technology, but who gets (eats?) that budget :-) walu. -------------------------------------------- On Wed, 6/4/14, Rad! via kictanet <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote: Subject: Re: [kictanet] Tender to airlift presidential speeches puzzles kenyans To: jwalu@yahoo.com Date: Wednesday, June 4, 2014, 3:36 PM There are plenty of techniques and tools to cryptographically sign and send documents.

@Rad! Wake up. Ofcourse you and I (hassler?) are "past the mentality of thats how it has always been". But believe you me, you would see it differently when you will one day sit on the "greener" side of life :-) walu. -------------------------------------------- On Wed, 6/4/14, Rad! via kictanet <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote: Subject: Re: [kictanet] Tender to airlift presidential speeches puzzles kenyans To: jwalu@yahoo.com Date: Wednesday, June 4, 2014, 3:57 PM But surely we are past the mentality of "that's how it has always been done".
