<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span
style='font-family:"Candara","sans-serif"'>Good afternoon. May I seek your kind
indulgence to divert your attention from the very nice exchanges on this forum so
far. I am sure most of you subscribed to 411 and 6667 have by now received this
SMS message "Government overturns decision by Communications Commission of
Kenya (CCK) Chairman Philip Okundi to sack Director General Charles Njoroge.
Minister Samuel Poghisio says his contract to be renewed".<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span
style='font-family:"Candara","sans-serif"'>The issue of governance at any
institution especially CCK is critical. Let us not gloss and keep mum over it. Of
course our position is public knowledge. We have always long sided with the
Board decision before they even firmed up the same. The Minister has disregarded
his Board’s advice, however biased they may have been. He cannot fire the
Chairman as he is appointed by the Chairman.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span
style='font-family:"Candara","sans-serif"'>By the way, I must insist that this
is not anything personal with my good friend Eng. Njoroge but we feel it is
time he gracefully left the CCK renewal of contract notwithstanding. Kindly be
polite even if you sharply disagree with our position. Thank you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
