The new website offers great insight on the KenGen IPO-all under one roof. Kudos to the brains behind it.
Challenge is if the consortium can maintain and update the site as the days progress?
I'll be watching!!!
Its a great site, hope they keep it upto date, also www.hisanet.info website seems to have some information on Kengen. Looks like its still being developed
it is very important for mercenaries to be well knowledgable about weather conditions. We would not want their operations to be interrupted in anyway right!
Jaba Boeku: the more analysis the better, but it's mainly for sales and marketing of the IPO.
msheshi: will check out hisanet
Anonymous: Artur still around and says he will talk to press this (Thursday) evening.
