Dear Members, I think no member of the foundation is an employer of those they are pointing fingers at, an investigator,a prosecutor or a judge of a competent court or tribunal to prove their guilt so as to issue verdicts like arrest, dismiss....etc. In order to achieve the very objectives of the foundation, I would urge that members' opinions or submisions should if need be, be based on evidence and authority other than always giving a flat opinion or submisions leaving it to members to interprete and arrive at a meaning that would suite the best interest of such an interpreter which most often leads to knocking of horns. This article is based on the assumptions that we members of the foundation are all learned. Thanks Alioni Emmanuel Drajole

Can you advise how far WND is progressing with all action points raised by all the members in this forum who have contributed on this issue urgently. Please also detail all the specific actions that have been undertaken on behalf of WND as a group with respect to pertinent issues impeding development in West Nile region from Koboko to Packwach and between e.g have we compiled all the issues and presented them to the relevant authorities for action and their response ?

Re: RE: Develop West Nile Foundation News Paper (Patrick Ezaga) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2010 18:59:32 +0300 From: Patrick Ezaga <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [WestNileNet] RE: Develop West Nile Foundation News Paper To: A Virtual Network for friends of West Nile <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252" Bwana President, colleagues, Surely it would make a whole load of a difference if we got a few of our "open minded" local leaders onto this forum. The type of leaders who will take our comments in good faith and not get blown away by some of our comments which border on "emotional" outbursts to say the least. This comes with an obligation on our part too, we need to learn how to express our frustration with certain ills in a manner befitting people who went to school but "did not leave education behind". ( i hope i am not being the first culprit myself here). All i am saying is that sweeping statements such as "dismiss, arrest" etc should be brought out in a manner that can actually avoid the direct use of such words, but carrying the same meaning. I see some looking at this as cowardice but i believe that " you can never put out fire with fire". Lets get the locals on board, the challenges of e-mail on ground notwithstanding.
