[kictanet] Forming digital democracy team

[Kivuva]

This is a brilliant idea. Count me in.

We pray to have peaceful elections. We hope the new IG will coordinate
with all security agents to maintain law and order. From the recent
nominations, its clear that we still have people not keen on
maintaining the peace.
Regards
