Edith, I am not an advocate for rebellion for the sake of it. In my experience (hopelessly little compared to the rest of the listers) is that very little changes. You would have had the PS not follow the directives in the letter because he doesn't like them? Why do we assume the presidents directives are not informed and that Dr.Ndemo is smarter or more effective at making decisions? The independence of the CCK is very important but I believe the president is better informed by the NSIS and other bodies than the CCK and the ministry of information. But then again I suppose this is an opportune time to test our new law courts? On Wed, Aug 29, 2012 at 3:48 PM, Edith Adera <eadera@idrc.or.ke> wrote:
Mark,
The world has changed and indeed, Kenya has changed, your statement "we don't work in vacuums and when directed to do something by superiors, you do it"......is a very sad statement and goes to show how mindsets MUST change in Kenya!
In a reformed enviornment, we can't work with your kind of mindset!

Dear All,
Let us not put Dr. Ndemo on the spot for following orders from his bosses. We do the same all the time in our institutions or companies. He has just said the matter is in court and hence not to be talked about along the roadside giving opinions. We don't work in vacuums and when directed to do something by superiors, you do it.

Dr. Ndemo, even though you've opted to go silent on this one, I think, just like you put up a spirited defence when the Nation accused you of corruption on Konza Tech City, you need to satisfy our curious desire. The Executive, to which by extent you are a part of, should never meddle with the telecommuniction sector since this is a liberalized economy. If you got the said letters from State House and PM's office, let us know - we just can't be held at ransom by a few individuals - even the President who is no longer above the law - to suit their own interests. This state of affair reminds me of JM Kariuki and his ten millionaires and ten million poor.
As such, I'm invoking Article 35 (Sub-Article 1 parts a and b and Sub-article 3), of the constitution.
Solomon

mmm...conspiracy of silence?
Should we be a community that cannot question the powers that be?
