I support Edith on this one. Having a copy of KIPPRA Report would enable those of us who are not working with CCK, make an objective judgement. On 26/09/2012, Edith Adera <eadera@idrc.or.ke> wrote:

Thanks Grace for sharing this piece of information.

Can we get a copy of the KIPRA report - I believe it's a public domain document - it should be under the new constitution.

IN SUMMARY

* Francis Wangusi, the director-general of the CCK, Tuesday told the Business Daily that the board will meet on Thursday to agree on whether to lower the Mobile Termination Rate (MTR) to Sh1.44 or Sh1.60. * President Kibaki issued a fresh directive in August through his private secretary, Prof Nick Wanjohi, that the Ministry of Information should not implement the MTR before a new study on the same is conducted. * CCK had contracted Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research Analysis to conduct a study on the impact of a lower MTR on the economy and the operator’s finances. * Mr Wangusi: "KIPPRA indicates that lower rates will significantly contribute positively to the general economy".

Dear Wambua, Thanks for your note. Would you say that this statement " Mr Wangusi: "KIPPRA indicates that lower rates will significantly contribute positively to the general economy"." Is an interim finding and not conclusive? When will the report be out?
