Catholic Church Insurance
According to the East African, the Nairobi Catholic Church has been licensed to start an insurance company, which it hopes will save it from paying out $20 million in premiums each year. This struck me as odd because I just learnt that, in Pakistan, drivers carry no car insurance, because one can’t insure “against the will of God” - which is what accidents are.
“TIVO” comes to Kenya
Also in the East African, Multichoice (K) expects to release personal video recorders on the Kenyan market by June 2006, which will allow viewers to record programs while watching others from their DSTV satellite dish packages.
Nairobian’s Revolt
