Wambua Thank you very much for responding and allaying our fears. We do appreciate greatly. Allow me to also urge CCK to consider the following points as your internal deliberations are going on:- 1. That you include other stakeholders (those that form a part of how KeNIC was originally instituted) in the internal deliberations. 2. It may be prudent to review the original IANA deliberations and relegation of the .ke from Dr.Ochuodho and Randy Bush to inform the next course of action as I'm sure you are aware that our Constitution also requires us to abide by international agreements. 2. That CCK makes a presentation on this issue during this year's KIGF to be held on the 26th of July at Strathmore. Details of which I am sure you are aware of. Thank you once again for your timely response.

Listers,
The issue of winding up KENIC is still under internal discussion at CCK. If indeed CCK deems it necessary to proceed in this direction, we shall not only explain to the public and stakeholders the rationale behind the decision but also subject the proposal to stakeholder consultation in line with the supreme law of our land.
I wish assure listers that CCK shall keep you posted on this matter.

As this sector becomes increasingly important I again urge KeNIC and CCK to come clean on the rumors of winding up KeNIC without wider consultation. The new Kenyan constitution demands more transparency and accountability and keeping silent on this issue only fuels more speculation.
Very well said Ali!!
