<DIV align=justify><FONT face=Calibri>Robert,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=justify><FONT face=Calibri>You can be a very fascinating person. You
set up a meeting and fail to show up for reasons we respect. For you to again to
start blaming those who showed up for turning up for "free lunch". To me, I
find your phrase disrecpectful manner to address your colleagues unless it
was a rare joke. I somehow understand your frustrations that todate, no
report besides the copy of the PS, Dr Ndemo's presentation has been circulated
to members as had been promised. What was most important is the "Town Hall
Meeting" as it was dubbed, was a success and a good start whether it
sponsored or not. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=justify><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=justify><FONT face=Calibri>As you may recall, I volunteered to
capture the discussions and generate a report as I have seen other members do
before, but my offer fell into deaf ears as neither You nor Liko had
the coutersy to respond to my mail and i hoped you had your plans in place. You
will also recall the person you later gave the node to do the same never
turned up for the day's debate and Liko had to do the
notes himself and I respected your position as the organisers. What I
appeal for is team work and mutual respect for members. </FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Hi,<BR><BR>I
believe my cooling out session is over for instigating for Dr. Ndemo to give
is a presentation and my failing to attend<BR><BR>Being an astute planner I
had taken into account the possibility of not being able to attend the session
which is why I proposed that this historic presentation for recorded for
posterity and to use against Dr. Ndemo if he ever decided to run for higher
office.<BR><BR>My suggestion that we contribute a token amount, 500/-, towards
the hosting was short down and a free model was adopted all because of our
entitlement mentality and over reliance on donors. This resulted in
those who did not make it to the session miss the opportunity to listen to
what was articulated as the "free" recording seems to have come to
naught.<BR><BR>There is a saying that goes "there is nothing like a free
lunch", I hope the next time we shall avoid the free model.<BR><BR>Regards<BR>
