Hi EL,

That's not what is going on at all.

It's all about who controls the revenue flow, and who gets to make the
rules, with a bit of ethnic rivalry thrown in.

the KE government  (especially the regulator) has never been happy with an
independent .ke.

They have been maneuvering towards this for several years.

Cheers,

McTim
