Hi Walu, No one ever had the thought that there wasn't other talent out there, but considering she was a founder of the organisation or whatever it is known as, should have at least given it some consideration don't you think. As I said, we don't know how the board was put together, whether through nomination or whatever, (some of us didn't see this at all to even comment on), but besides that what other factors where there that overrode the process???? It is fair to be transparent about this don't you think?? I am not dismissing what the other members have said and I agree that everyone should continue to support the cause, but some of these things happened in the most strangest of ways and no one asked any questions!! Again, I ask, is this the Kenyan way!!! (In case you didn't know, I am fully Kenyan - born and bred!!). thanks and appreciate the responses although they haven't answered my curiosity and concern. regards On 8/13/07, David Sparrow Malaba <[email protected]> wrote:

Barrack,
True that, but while we acknowledge that the industry and CCK have been talking for a while now, and do have a cosy thing going, we agreed on this forum that the Consumer has been missing from the table. What I would have been happy to see was a strong consumer advocate, and while it may not necesarily be Alex, at least somebody who can clearly be identified as the consumer advocate should have been included on the ICT Board.
Richard Bell - TESPOK Catherine Adeya - Coordinator of KICTANet (Kenya ICT Action Network). Peter Kimacia - Chief Executive of ICTvillage.com Kevit Desai - ICT Federation Kiptiness from CCK.

I agree with Walu, i urge those who not appointed including walu to keep up with the good work they are doing for the sector the real leaders at times are always in the audience
Lizette,
FE's contribution to ICT in Kenya is quite exceptional and outstanding. However, when it comes to sitting on non-elective boards, other factors tend to override.
The legislation (Gazette Notice) for the Kenya ICT board and other similar boards accross the world leaves
search and appoint procedures at the pleasure of
President and his respective minister. Now, in a market with excessive ICT and related talent like Kenya, one can only understand if some qualified members miss out (including me maybe? ;-)
Nevertheless, what matters is if the new board can deliver the anticipated benefits within reasonable timeframes. And I believe the six or seven of them will not succeed without the input the likes of FE et al.
walu.

Congratulations to all the Board members!!
On the other hand, It's amazing how Dr. Florence Etta was not given the opportunity to be nominated and/or participate on the Board!!! As one of the key founders of KICTANET and the name and having contributed extensively to ICT as a whole in everyway!!!! Have we forgotten so fast!!! With no disrespect intended to anyone, but I must ask - Is this the Kenyan way of doing things??? I am sure most of you will agree that at least Florence should have been nominated or asked to participate as a board member. It was then upto her to decide if she was interested to or not, and of course then, the voting or whatever would have been done to determine the members, or so I would think. Is this what everyone agreed to?? would be good to know.
Sorry but its always hard for people to be upfront, truthful and bold enough to ask and I think it's only fair to raise
