I was talking about visibility. They are internationally renowned. I agree the only people being protected here are Daudi Were, and the board members Juliana Rotich, Erik Hersman and David Kobia. These are the local directors. You might recall that Hersman was adversely implicated last year during the Angani scandal.
This community should invest in trampolines because it enjoys jumping so much - especially to conclusions. All of the accusations about the board, its reactions and its alleged coverups are based entirely on hearsay. The victim of the allegations has not come forward publicly to say any of these things about the case or the board.

Victims have been silenced. It's open and shut, if the board was open to firing the CEO. There are multiple people here who were harassed but asked to keep quiet. Ask the team members at Ushahidi.
Erik Hersman is on holiday as this mess unfolds...

In the interest of full disclosure you have admitted that these are your friends. Does that not colour your judgement? Are you being paid to post here ? 2. Please tell us what happened when you accused someone of harassment. Were you silenced by the board? Were you threatened with excommunication? Were you asked to play nice while your harasser went free? 3. The board had a chance to show that they value openness. Wh…
1. No, I am not friends with either of them and no, I am not paid to post here. I do work in the ecosystem and do know them and exchange work conversations and ideas with them. I look up, especially to Juliana. I recently saw her on stage representing Kenyan women in the tech scene at G20 and was proud that she represented us well. 2. The harasser was eventually dismissed from employment, but not for sexual harassmen…

#47Now that fellow is collecting awards in Luxembourg as things burn at home. Ushahidi directors still saying nothing. Wow. I wish Ghafla, Techweez, Techmoran and KahawaTungu would come together and share their scoops and work together on this. If they are cooking books we need proof.
If someone is always in the middle of scandals maybe they must be removed. Hatutaki snake oil salespeople hapa.
Re: Ushahidi Accused of Covering Up Sexual Harassment Case “to Protect Ecosystem”
#48This guy seems to have had a reputation of harassment behaviour going back more than a decade among guy groups on a blog forum ran by two of the Ushahidi board members (D Kobia and Juliana Rotich). This means that, by the time they were appointing him as CEO of Ushahidi they were well aware of his behaviour. By then, they had also been alerted of his behaviour within Ushahidi. What would be the explanation for that?
