Thanks for acknowledging how it happened in Kampala. The young IT  students
freshly trained on IG qualified to vote to select cochair for a RIR PDP and
followed your agenda as you admitted.

Let leave this to the WG participants to make their  own opinion…

of the PDP and  divise  the  WG.

I refuse to be at fault…

I will just stop here…
