Tell me where in Machakos Brian comes from. Brian is neither from machakos nor Kenyan. He has just overstayed and he is arrogantly strutting the scene, being used as a KICTANET attack dog and benefiting the people like the PS who sees it best to involve crooks in all deals while Kenyans loose.

<div>John,</div>
<div>Brian as I know him is of Kenyan descent. His parentage hails from Machakos district. That is all I know. I think you should investigate that if you must. But the gist of position is correct. No foreigners should be allowed to sit on important boards like CCK. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The last frontier of development on earth now is Knowledge (creation, transfer and use). CCK is a the avenue through which we impart this commodity to Kenyans. If we allow this to be owned/controlled by foreigners we have a problem.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But, is Brian Munyao Longwe really a foreigner?</div>

<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;">Boster<br><br>Where is Anthony Maundu Longwe. And this is KICTANET. What are you doing in Kictanet when you are a malawian. Are you not checking on how the Malawian is making headlines in Kenya?<br>
