Thanks all for the clarification. Indeed we need to step up our campaigns in our respective regions. It would be important as Tijani has put it to nominate great candidates in our networks who would otherwise shy away from these positions. I believe we have done our part in sending reminders in our different mailing lists. This initiative will bear fruits -- ______________________ Mwendwa Kivuva, Nairobi, Kenya twitter.com/lordmwesh The best athletes never started as the best athletes.
