Bro. Sibande<br><br>As per your posting, I dont think that there is anything wrong with a malawian, Zambian, Uzbek, Russian, Mongolian or American being in KICTANET. What John is questioning is why should we be having a Malawian in KICTANET and sitting on CCK board. I also suspect that Brian is Malawian since his brother whom I know through some Kenyan radio presenter is malawian and mostly in Malawi with frequent travel to Kenya<br>
