He is a foreigner and since they are the ones beingg used as attack dogs in such fora. We will get to unearth them. Brian Longwe is not Kenyan and he is not kamba. The tribe he is from in Malawi has just a close name to Kamba just like you will find Munyao in Southern Tanzania and North Western Malawi.

Do we lack Kenyans with credentials to sit on the board of CCK? Tell me where in Machakos Brian comes from. Brian is  neither from machakos nor Kenyan. He has just overstayed and he is arrogantly strutting the scene, being used as a KICTANET attack dog and benefiting the people like the PS who sees it best to involve crooks in all deals while Kenyans loose. We have people with better CVS than Brian who can sit on the board of CCK.

John,
Brian as I know him is of Kenyan descent. His parentage hails from Machakos district. That is all I know. I think you should investigate that if you must. But the gist of position is correct. No foreigners should be allowed to sit on important boards like CCK. 
 
The last frontier of development on earth now is Knowledge (creation, transfer and use). CCK is a the avenue through which we impart this commodity to Kenyans. If we allow this to be owned/controlled by foreigners we have a problem.
 
But, is Brian Munyao Longwe really a foreigner?

Where is Anthony Maundu Longwe. And this is KICTANET. What are you doing in Kictanet when you are a malawian. Are you not checking on how the Malawian is making headlines in Kenya?

The post being referred to by Ndugu was authored by me. Indeed I
thought Brian Longwe is Malawian considering his surname. As such, I
was excited and rushed to the ICT Association mailing list to share
the glad tidings. However, after thorough investigations I am
convinced that he is Kenyan. In fact, he was born and grew up in
Kenya.
Therefore, I would like to apologize for any inconveniences my post
might have created. I erred.

Thanks,
Boster.
