<div dir="ltr"><div>Many thanks Lillian , Patrick and Senator Halake for your interesting perspective to this conversation,</div><div><br></div><div>Patrick, i actually watched a BBC documentary last week highlighing how Celebrities are misusing Instagram to Influence Youngsters to Consume Alcohol and other substances that ought to be consumed by adults using their Social Media Influence. A British lady had actually taken it upon herself to write to some of the Celebrities whom i will not name here but who took down the posts in question.</div><div><br></div><div>I watched the launch of the centre on KTN and wished in addition to our friends from Britain who graciously launched the initiative we could have had some local experts like Lillian from Watoto Watch who has been doing a lot in the space, someone from CA as well as someone from DCI preferably bwana Kinoti. I think optics are very important to common mwanainchi since some of them get lost as soon as there is a change in accent and forget the gist of the matter.</div><div><br></div><div>Best Regards<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Mar 26, 2019 at 5:27 PM Abshiro Halake via kictanet <<a href="mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke">kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Dear Listers, <div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I trust you are all well.
