Once again let me say that It is very unfortunate that a technical community such as KICTAnet continue to be subjected to a debate that has nothing to do with the subject institution or its integrity. The main players understand the game very well. The debaters don't ! Under the present coalition government and going by the old constitution (...and mentality) it would be unfortunate for a board chair to go a full term without exerting "the necessary" power, influence, and changes that are ethno-political and p-party compliant. These factors will determine future favours for such people. This is the bitter bill that Kenyans have to swallow...atleast for the short term period preceding the full implementation of the new constitution and a new government is put in place.

 

While it would be naive of anyone to deny these facts it is comforting to note that such days, times and eras will soon be behind us and I would like to advise our senior politicians and others who have lived in this kind of environment for the better part of their lives and who may find it difficult to change to start preparing themselves for the back seat. Kenya is on the move and come September 2012 new drivers will be issued with clean licenses to drive this country forward.

 

As a peace maker I may have no solution to the current problem but I think the power of dialogue supersedes everything else. Have a peaceful day. KW.
