<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Muthoni,</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Two issues here but I think we should focus more on the first paragraph</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">that you discuss so well. However, I will allow the occasional</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">digression on the second issue of interpreting gender issues but that</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">debate has been on in various fora and for now we know that gender</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">issues in Kenya seem more inclined to women's issues though we know the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">definition includes both. For now listers delve on the questions and if</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">the definitional issues come up in the course of answering them then</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">that is an added bonus.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Why the silence? Why the silence? Why the silence? We are almost there</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">just 3 days left in a very successful discussion so far. Please</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">write......</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Good afternoon everyone,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Like other issues that have been discussed (Day 1 to day 6), my take is</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">that we must have things right from the beginning. A BPO-specific</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">outfit (like the BPO society) should have the mandate to enforce (or at</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">least lobby the law enforcers) labour laws for this young industry.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This way, issues like the one that appeared on the Standard Newspaper</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">will be unheard of. Furthermore, some clients especially from the US</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">are concerned about how the vendor he/she is giving work to treats</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> </FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">On a light note; could we begin re-thinking this whole issue of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">interpretation ‘gender issues’ to mean ‘women issues’; men are</FONT>
