[kictanet] Bitange for President? Extended due to PublicDemand(off-topic)

Thu Aug 11 22:33:46 EAT 2011

Walu,

That unfortunately sounds like grand gerrymandering to me, and so I suppose
a forum of such multistakeholder stature
as Kictanet should rise up and voice the need for sobriety amongst the
parties involved in this standoff - if indeed there 
is one, and spare this important office/position the mediocrity that it's
now being exposed to...

Just a thought..

Harry

@Liko,

am not a lawyer but I can tell you once a matter is in court, it would be
dangerous to comment on the same - especially for an office like the PS.

however, as a layman, I probably may get away with a comment or two. So here
is how I see it.
1. Looks like this Mutoro man did indeed walk the talk and sued.
2. Looks like he has won round one and may as well win the next round.
3. HOWEVER, there's really a "new" board in place and therefore
4. If the issue in dispute was that the DGs appointment was irregular due to
lack of Board blessing THEN now
5. there's nothing that stops the "new" board from providing the said
blessing and HENCE
6. projected end game: DG out for now, DG back later.

hmm sound like a computer program - been while since I coded :-(

walu.
nb: apologies to the GG/Ndemo for the commercial break, plse continue with
the Presidential manifesto topics...
