CCK Drops 30% rule

It is commendable that the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK) has dropped the requirement that companies must have 30% local shareholding before they are issued with licences.

However, why is the CCK predisposed towards foreign companies. If Flashcom and Popote could start locally (i suppose they are locally owned), the other announcement they should be making is that they will be giving Kenyans equal access to the telcoms investment arena as they are giving multinationals.
