Wash - as Walu pointed out, current chairman is Alice so it depends on when the board meeting in the minutes you refer to happened as to which Chairperson was in office...<div><br></div><div>Nevertheless - concerns abound - should members call for an EGM to address the problems?</div>

Quoting Rebecca<br><br>"Kenic is a multistakeholder body, owned by the tech community" </div></div><br>I think it's in order to ask the board chair (maybe <b>request </b>is a better word?) to enlighten us on this perceived high "CEO/staff turnover".<br>
<br>"Then there is the problem of board interference. The micro management
at Kenic is just something else. I am told its only one board member who
doesn’t like to let things run smoothly. I can not name him without
being accused of malice"<br><br>I am wondering why Rebecca is scared of naming names if she has the facts.<br><br><br>Reference to KENIC's last Board Meeting (which lasted 4hrs 15 minutes):<br><a href="http://www.kenic.or.ke/files/MINUTES_8th_AGM_2011.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.kenic.or.ke/files/MINUTES_8th_AGM_2011.pdf</a><br>
<br><i>"Members also pointed out the high staff turnover at KeNIC</i> <b>and</b> <i>sought clarification on whether the organization had paid twice for development of its website.</i><br><i>The Chairman endeavoured to respond to all of the issues raised but acknowledged that some of the matters such as double payment for the website redesign required further enquiry."</i> <i><b>So, Mr. Buruchara flanked the issue of high staff turnover; Needed time to conduct an inquiry as to whether the Auditor's Report was accurate or what?<br>
<br></b></i>I think if Sammy Buruchara cannot handle KENIC matters properly as is evident, then a reconstitution of the board should be in the offing, with a view to replacing him. There should also be an ammendment to the constitution that governs KENIC to limit the terms of the Board Members.<br>
<br>Wwith whom does the buck stop at KENIC? Chairman? Then he should be replaced.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br><br><br>-- <br>Best regards,<br>Odhiambo WASHINGTON,<br>Nairobi,KE<br>+254733744121/+254722743223<br>
