Robert Part of the answer to your question is in the same message as quoted here below. On matters of government transfers, perhaps you should offer a suggestion on what we could do. "As an industry and fans of the work the PS has been doing, we can lend support; and in doing so seek complete transparency in the manner the authorities treat the matter. And that no siasa, no vendetta, etc drive the matter. Indeed, as a country with new laws and one aspiring to strengthen the rule of law, due process is a requirement for every one. We can ask that of the investigators from KACC. "Further, as people interested in seeing technology play a major role in economic transformation, we should also seek that the efforts and investments made so far towards this end be safeguarded as a matter of national interest; and that the investigations not become disruptive of the momentum gathered so far." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matunda Nyanchama, PhD, CISSP; mnyanchama@aganoconsulting.com Agano Consulting Inc.; www.aganoconsulting.com; Twitter: nmatunda; Skype: okiambe ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Be prepared for ICT security failures & know how to respond when they happen!

He has the facts with which to counter the issue and understands the process of government procurement better than most of us with little or no experience in government. As an industry and fans of the work the PS has been doing, we can lend support; and in doing so seek complete transparency in the manner the authorities treat the matter.
