Response from Charles Muchene, PricewaterhouseCoopers

Thanks for your note. As you would see from the methodology, it's neither
PwC nor Nation Media that determines the winners. The companies and
individuals that are listed as winners were selected by over 250 business
leaders in the region. Perhaps this is the group that you should address
your message to.

Dear Charles,

Thank you for your reply. PwC and Nation Media may not have determined the winners, but they did sponsor the survey and publish its results. In any event, we would be grateful if you could send us a list of the 250+ business leaders in the region who determined the winners -- along with their email addresses -- so that we can address them directly, as you suggest.

Sincerely,
