Dear Alex,
You did not have to take this personally.  In the past three months, 10
BPO enterprises were set up.  At the same time I have received five lobby
groups that want to set up a union for the BPO sector and ten different
groups of people want an all inclusive ICT professional organization. 
Some of the later groups want registration of ICT professionals.  This is
why I am pleasantly amused that we indeed we have more people who want to
be activists rather than entrepreneurs.

I enjoy your criticism but I do not entirely think you are simply an
activist.  Someone must bring up issues like that.  Ama namna gani?


Regards


Ndemo.
