Wash - as Walu pointed out, current chairman is Alice so it depends on when the board meeting in the minutes you refer to happened as to which Chairperson was in office... Nevertheless - concerns abound - should members call for an EGM to address the problems? Brian On Mon, Mar 19, 2012 at 6:57 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:

Rebecca asks some pertinent questions in this article about KENIC http://ht.ly/9K21N
Having previously served as a director on the KENIC board I can only ask "what is amiss?"
There seems to be trouble with either selection of a CEO or retention or both.

Quoting Rebecca
"Kenic is a multistakeholder body, owned by the tech community"
I think it's in order to ask the board chair (maybe *request *is a better word?) to enlighten us on this perceived high "CEO/staff turnover".
"Then there is the problem of board interference. The micro management at Kenic is just something else. I am told its only one board member who doesn’t like to let things run smoothly. I can not name him without being accused of malice"
I am wondering why Rebecca is scared of naming names if she has the facts.
Reference to KENIC's last Board Meeting (which lasted 4hrs 15 minutes): http://www.kenic.or.ke/files/MINUTES_8th_AGM_2011.pdf
*"Members also pointed out the high staff turnover at KeNIC* *and* *sought clarification on whether the organization had paid twice for development of its website.* *The Chairman endeavoured to respond to all of the issues raised but acknowledged that some of the matters such as double payment for the website redesign required further enquiry."* *So, Mr. Buruchara flanked the issue of high staff turnover; Needed time to conduct an inquiry as to whether the Auditor's Report was accurate or what?
*I think if Sammy Buruchara cannot handle KENIC matters properly as is evident, then a reconstitution of the board should be in the offing, with a view to replacing him. There should also be an ammendment to the constitution that governs KENIC to limit the terms of the Board Members.
Wwith whom does the buck stop at KENIC? Chairman? Then he should be replaced.
