[kictanet] 4 CEOS in 5 years? Something doesn't seem right at KENIC

[Brian Munyao Longwe]

Wash - as Walu pointed out, current chairman is Alice so it depends on when
the board meeting in the minutes you refer to happened as to which
Chairperson was in office...

Nevertheless - concerns abound - should members call for an EGM to address
the problems?
