and people need to selflessly dedicate personal time (almost always on a voluntary
basis) - they simply don't. Some of us (and as I look around the room at the 12
odd people sitting here) have been volunteering our time constantly and
consistently for many years, going out of our way, both to find out what is
happenning and to offer our (free time and input) towards helping govt better
understand and work with "stakeholders" in defining the ways of
moving forward. A lot of this has happened through our personal involvement in
organisations such as KICTANET, TESPOK, KENIC, KIF, KEPSA, EAIA, CSK, etc...<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Very strong language - but I think you should relax as your concerns are
unfounded.<br>

I am at the Strategic retreat. Unfortunately Gilda Odera - Chairperson of BPO,
who was supposed to be present had to cancel at the last minute. <br>
