[kictanet] Satement by Brian Longwe from Panel on Access in Main Session of Internet Governance Forum, Hyderabad, India 3rd Dec 2008

[Joseph Manthi]

John,
Brian as I know him is of Kenyan descent. His parentage hails from Machakos
district. That is all I know. I think you should investigate that if you
must. But the gist of position is correct. No foreigners should be allowed
to sit on important boards like CCK.

The last frontier of development on earth now is Knowledge (creation,
transfer and use). CCK is a the avenue through which we impart this
commodity to Kenyans. If we allow this to be owned/controlled by foreigners
we have a problem.

But, is Brian Munyao Longwe really a foreigner?
