<br>I think the PS position is currently ably filled by Dr.Ndemo and we in the private sector should give him all the support that he requires to take this great country to greater heights. <br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">

What's key is that this is engrained very early on in the educational development of our children.<br>
