2. confirming & then denying that he had met with Dr. Nathaniel Tum and the other shareholders,
3. confirming that he contracted a consultant to advise on how to sort the matter,
4. unilaterally changing the deadline for the consultants to report,
5. panicking over some unnamed persons intention to scuttle the AGM,

Get your facts right, Dr. Tum was a contestant under and chief financier of ODMK which is Kalonzo's party and part of the PNU.

If in doubt check here Tum Online Secretariat

Finally, you may not know it, but Dr. Tum served as chairman of Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) between 1989 and 1996 and guess who was the Director of KARI then? Dr. Romano Kiome.

This is a big problem we have. We can call each other names, trivialize everything into politics of tribes, but we always miss the point. What has been clearly analysed here is the usual problem - the "old boys" networks that usually go beyond tribes
 


I realise that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone.
