[kictanet] Who is ICT Board? Hijacked

Sun Apr 4 21:10:35 EAT 2010

Daktari,

Thank you for setting the ball rolling, not sure i saw the document as
well it must have been hijacked. A town hall meeting is a welcome idea
i second it, Kippra felt sufficiently philanthropic before the last
town hall meeting i wonder whether they can double their offer during
this easter season, bwn Magolo can we count on you. Walu can set the
agenda.

Regards
