Chess players in Kenya are just trying<BR/>to dig a hole in water. I have gone through the constitution and found it<BR/>to be a much better document than the one we had many years ago. Why waste<BR/>so much time and energy doing another constitution?? We are writing a new<BR/>constitution to fit chess players who have ignored the current one. Will<BR/>the new one be followed. Never , Never Never. Turmoil will continue as it<BR/>has since the first chairman was there. His name was Mr Sikand by the way.<BR/><BR/>The way forward is as follows;<BR/><BR/>1 The National chess league be set up by teams paying the membeship fee that<BR/>is set out in the constitution ie Ksh 15k for corporates and 5k for non<BR/>corporates.<BR/>2. The school league be set up with the schools paying Ksh 5k<BR/>3. The provincial branches for Nyanza, Nairobi and Rift VAlley can be set up<BR/>without much effort. We have Shakeel in Kisumu, Korrir in Eldoret and we<BR/>have many people for the Nairobi Province.<BR/>4 CK should co-opt two people into the committee to help in organising these<BR/>two leagues which are LONG LONG overdue<BR/>5. The elections are then held under the new constitution in Feb 2008 by<BR/>which time the league is well underway.<BR/>6. Only authorised delegates will then be allowed into the voting hall.<BR/>This idea of all chess players turning up at AGM is completely wrong. Can<BR/>you imagine all hockey players going to city park for elections. the Riot<BR/>police will clobber all you little pawns and chase you back to your Rooks.<BR/>Or Kasparav and Karpov going for the Russian Chess Federation AGM. Guys let<BR/>us be serious.<BR/><BR/>Guys the game of chess is suffering. Sponsors are not interested in fancy<BR/>documents they want to see action on the board. the silent majority want to<BR/>castle long, castle short, capture, check and checkmate!<BR/><BR/>I will be sending a letter of protest to the sports council on how they have<BR/>handled this affair.<BR/><BR/>kimKenya Chess Masalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01211544181288773256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097878226214657795.post-22326314152406870952007-09-30T16:14:00.000+03:002007-09-30T16:14:00.000+03:00I don't kow of any checkmates memebrs wanting to b...I don't kow of any checkmates memebrs wanting to be CK officials. In fact some have been asked but they have all refused! They apparently think CK is useless and things can only happen by developing the club.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
