Alice Munyua (ALAC) (and co-organiser of EAIGF with Adam Peake - where we were excluded!) published "Hello Munyua" at http://www.regulateonline.org/component/option,com_docman/task,doc_download/gid,22/ fraudulently claiming that our association as having participated "6. Alex Gakuru: Consumer Protection Association" - When the truth of the matter is that I had explicitly excluded our association from their discussions. My repeated requests that the misrepresentation be corrected we never acted on. Fraudulent report! And a history: 13. PROJECTS FUNDING INITIATIVE –PERSONAL VIEWS - Projects Funding Initiative Global Benefits - Serious work and results delivery; Action beyond other e-lists talk and campaigns for posts. I do not accept like nor take shifting “hot” cs issues because there is funding. I turned down a US$ 250,000.00 for so-called “Consumer protection project in KICTANet because I was not convinced the motives were right." <www.isoc.org/isoc/chapters/projects/reports/ProjectReport2_part3.pdf>
