Wake up. Ofcourse you and I (hassler?) are "past the mentality of thats how it has always been".

Given that the bid bond is 500,000, and a bid bond is usually a fraction of the budget, how much money are we spending airlifting speeches where a simple PDF attachment to email will suffice? Especially given we are complaining about runaway government spending?

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 < <mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote: Subject: Re: [kictanet] Tender to airlift presidential speeches puzzles kenyans To: <mailto:jwalu@yahoo.com> jwalu@yahoo.com Date: Wednesday, June 4, 2014, 3:36 PM There are plenty of techniques and tools to cryptographically sign and send documents.
