[kictanet] Fwd: Bulk of KenyanWealth Owned by Foreigners

[alice]

And more attacks levelled not only against Kimunya but now Dr. Ndemo?... 
it seems like the former government (or is it members of the government 
and institutions) are being targeted for vituperative pronouncements. 
And I agree it is absurd and unfortunate and in the long run, the 
victims may be burnt alive but in the end as in so many other 
orchestrated witch hunts the world over ( remember US Joe McCarthy's 
anti communism hysteria dubbed  McCarthyism) the witches  and motives 
are also always finally exposed.

We seem to be going back to the culture of suspicion, fear, and revenge  
with all the  questionable methods and rather reckless talk, and as a 
result we are making personalities the issue rather than the cause. We 
seem to have put hope, courage, and dialogue in the back burner.

Thank you Walu for reminding us why we started this Multi stakeholder 
list 3 years ago. Let us use it for the purpose it was 
created.....towards universal affordable access to ICTs.
