As a member of CSK, I'd say it is possible to pay subscriptions via MPESA....but the registration process can benefit from improvement. Consider participating in the events e.g. the ICT Manager's Congress later in April; among others. On Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 10:02 AM, robert yawe <robertyawe@yahoo.co.uk>wrote:
