[kictanet] President Kenyatta secures Microsoft support for computers

[Barrack Otieno]

Agreed Bobby,

Are you suggesting an occupy parliament sort of move *Hides*, Matogo's
Strathmore  offer sounds better maybe you can be the Master of Ceremony and
Walu the Moderator any takers/suggestions for panelists?, i agree with the
kind of energy demonstrated on the list there are many stakeholders itching
to do something and we need a middle ground or  a win win situation for
that matter.

Best Regards
