@Sidney Ochieng I believe the ICT Ministry officials quit this group, led by the CS, because they couldn't stand the probity demanded by the listers. So we should accept this as some of the things that are expected.

I remember mentioning to CS Joe Mucheru (on Facebook before he unfriended me) to adopt the "container labs" type of system- Solar Powered Internet Schools (SPIS) [https://educationinnovations.org/program/samsung-solar-powered-internet-school-spis] because it was a well thought out plan of implementation and obviously better than issuing laptops to kids, but he did not take that.

See now what has happened to billions? He will now be mentioned along the 'gato gordos' of Kenya and the dent on reputation is not easy to correct.

But hey, even "Agenda Four" is more about eating than development!
