But reading through the email history methinks this Edwin Onchari a.k.a the activist may not be ill-intentioned and should really join the Yawe convened f2f meeting based on the political theory that says: Keep your friends close and your "enemies" closer (worked for Obama and H. Clinton :-) <br><br>However, for Dr. Ndemo I quite appreciate how it does get depressing when you work hard but people only sound out the negatives...but that is the price one has to pay for being a public servant. The solution is to develop a thicker skin and stay focused. Five, Ten, fifteen years later when you are gone, the same people will see the light and say OK.

He may not necessarily be right in all his conclusions but I<br>think it gives KICTB a chance to correct wrong perception or provide more<br>information (as Paul has)on areas that are not clear to some industry players.<br>I would like to believe
that such clarification will enable the industry to move<br>ahead with one voice and understanding.<br>In my view, uninviting Edwin does not answer his queries.<br>I think he has a lot of good ideas for the industry.<br>Give him a chance.<br><br>Gilda<br> <br>Quoting <a ymailto="mailto:bitange@jambo.co.ke" href="/mc/compose?to=bitange@jambo.co.ke">bitange@jambo.co.ke</a>:<br><br>> Robert,<br>> I have carefully read all of Edwin's posts on this list and I am sorry to<br>> state none is positive. I am asking you if we can uninvite him to next<br>> week's meeting.
