[kictanet] FYI - Malili to be fenced

Fri Apr 16 09:24:22 EAT 2010

I think fencing is a start because eventually after we put up expensive
equipment and data there .. they need to be protected. Likewise any
construction taking place will require protection from thieves and
constructors protected from wild animals.

The "wired convention" is a very good idea but it will need to be protected
for us to hold a brainstorm  there. Personally, I don't think I can
brainstorm effectively when lions are roaming free in the convention...
