[kictanet] ICT AUTHORITY BOARD MEANT TO CURE OLD CONFLICT ISSUES

[Ngigi Waithaka]

Interesting,

An ICT Association that's not afraid to bite!

I don't know what the specifics of your case are about, but, as I have
intimated in these forums before, until the day someone stands up and seeks
legal recourse to a lot of the ills and corruption in ICT in Kenya, we are
just 'dogs' barking, without biting!

I wish you well in your endeavours, and it is my hope that you will use it
for good.

Regards
Waithaka Ngigi
