Walu,
That unfortunately sounds like grand gerrymandering to me, and so I suppose
a forum of such multistakeholder stature
as Kictanet should rise up and voice the need for sobriety amongst the
parties involved in this standoff - if indeed there
is one, and spare this important office/position the mediocrity that it's
now being exposed to...
Just a thought..
Harry

@Liko,
am not a lawyer but I can tell you once a matter is in court, it would be
dangerous to comment on the same - especially for an office like the PS.
however, as a layman, I probably may get away with a comment or two. So here
is how I see it.
1. Looks like this Mutoro man did indeed walk the talk and sued.
2. Looks like he has won round one and may as well win the next round.
3. HOWEVER, there's really a "new" board in place and therefore
4. If the issue in dispute was that the DGs appointment was irregular due to
lack of Board blessing THEN now
5. there's nothing that stops the "new" board from providing the said
blessing and HENCE
6. projected end game: DG out for now, DG back later.
hmm sound like a computer program - been while since I coded :-(
walu.
nb: apologies to the GG/Ndemo for the commercial break, plse continue with
the Presidential manifesto topics...

Very illuminating thoughts :)
Now, tell us what is happening at CCK

Grace,
Thank you for extending the debate to Monday. I hope I get time to
articulate some of the issues that will impact our lives in the next few
years. Earlier I said that we are not alone in how we are dealing with
our social development. I went ahead and gave examples from the US and
UK. Although it is an unfortunate for the British people, it has come to
pass. Even the Central Bank we got some good debate out of my post.
Leadership requires selfless commitment to the people they lead. It is a
sacrifice one makes. In this respect, I will seek for advisors who have
demonstrated ability to serve their country with dedication. We have
these people but they have never been given a chance to lead. The
constitution has accorded us the opportunity to search for such people.
If you read today's front page Standard, it has the requirement for those
who want to join the electoral commission. If we follow the requirement
to the letter, we shall get credible people. It is this process that
lacked before and political operatives took charge in many posts within
government.
Indeed there will be a policy guideline on all organizations registered
under Societies Act. It is in the interest of the public that these
organizations file annual returns to the registrar because they are tax
exempt. Tax exemption means that we the public partly fund their
activities. Further the state has a responsibility to protect its
citizens from being taken advantage of. We cannot burry our heads in the
sand on this issue no matter how sensitive it is. We shall also be
implementing our constitution with respect to Bill of Rights.
Regards
Ndemo.
Listers
We have received requests (offline) that we allow "Candidate" Ndemo more
time for him to respond to more concerns being raised.
This is to let you know that the 'official campaign period" has been
extended up to Monday August 15, 2011.
And now Dr. Ndemo, Harry Delano did ask you to say what kind of advisors
you would be looking for to help shape policy. Can we hear you on this
one
too? You also make a valid point about churches and the fact that they
are
not audited. I know for example in Washington DC, Parish priests have to
present audited accounts to Parishoners once a year, while the Bishop
fundraises through a system that is open to public scrutiny. Would you
then make a policy decision on this? On a light note, may I remind you
that your responses will go into the 'manifesto' and translate into more
or less "votes" :)
Listers, let the debate continue.
