[kictanet] Kenic fires all employees

Tue Aug 21 16:58:39 EAT 2012

Sammy, The BOD at KeNIC and listers at large

We understand that the board has now restructured the governance of KeNIC
in such a way that it now becomes a 'closed' stakeholder environment? Could
you please kindly clarify this issue. Reading your posting of a few days
and let me quote you here:-

"...the Strategic Plan Review that took place  last month, the following
stakeholders were selected based on the value they bring to the KENIC Board
to enable KENIC meet its mandate of growing the .ke name space in Kenya."
end quote.

When can ALL stakeholders have a copy of the Institutional Assessment
report? Or is this only for the eyes of the board? or the current perceived
stakeholders?

My concern here is that shouldn't the AGM have decided on who the new
stakeholders are? Who does the Board of Directors report to in this case?

Correct me if I'm wrong but what the current status of affairs indicates or
implies is that there is fundamental shift from the current stakeholder
structure to a new one.

Good Corporate Governance tenets demand that before such fundamental
changes are made as to how an AGM is conducted this should be decided by
the AGM NOT by the Board of Directors. After all it is at the AGM that
Board Members are elected...

We must at all costs ensure that the governance of KeNIC is above board and
the way the current situation is it leaves to much speculation and rumor to
spread. For the sake of this organisation you must be seen to be beyond
reproach.

Having said that I do agree that these are tumultuous times at KeNIC and we
must allow reason to take place. I urge everyone to take a step back and
let the management and board of KeNIC steer the ship until the AGM which I
am hoping will be open to ALL stakeholders and not just the ones that the
board feels has a stake in KeNIC.
