Just expounding on what Bruce just explained.The managing director Of TSLG ,Mr. Arthur Olual main worry is security on our side and his too because his is already a company.
He said that at some time back some guys went to a school and said they were sent by TSLG and then went ahead.
to collect five computers that they said required servicing at 'their station'.luckily the school called him and he told the school administration that nobody has been mandated to collect computers from schools by TSLG!
About the money to carry on the project,he said he cannot deposit money into personal accounts because the auditors could quiz the same and its bad governance!Money into a personal account is income and should be taxed.(probably our colleagues who take accounting know what that means)
By the same token someone could go out and pose to be a wiki-median and do some harm out there then we would be in trouble with the law.
In fact he asked us how we have been presenting/introducing ourselves at the schools we visited!
So I guess that this is a wake up call so that we lay down measures to register as a legal entity.
Cheers,

Steve and i have just met the TSL &G MD
we had a very
constructive discussion and among issues that came was the issue of a
formal engagement in the manner that he gets a formal communication from
the Foundation ,or rather some official communication from the chapters
heads i.e Abbas ,Oscar,
He was of the view the earlier we formalize the better coz he
would be having a meeting with Ministry of Education in the next few
days and he wanted us to have some representatives in the same meeting.
He also said that the next training for Nyeri teachers was scheduled to
occur in the next two weeks and was requesting our participation if we
are formally engaged.
He said we can engage him either by one, training his team and giving them the content for them to for them to install OR by incorporating two members from our team ,
The bone of contention at the moment is the formal engagement so we urge Abbas and Oscar to facilitate that,
rgds ,
Steve and Bruce.
