<div>The question still remains, how was this done???? When I brought up the question about Dr. Florence Etta, it was on the basis of her experience and being the key founder of this noble organisation. Also that she was involved in the marketing of this organisation and one or more of the donors to KICTANET have been achieved through her connections and skills in bring them on board. All in all my question hasn't been answered todate.
