@Mutoro, I can feel your excitement. But lets interrogate the possible merits of Dr. Matiangi who taught you literature @ UoN - within the context of our ICT industry. What do you think Dr. Matiangi would bring on the table? I do appreciate that he does NOT need to be an IT/Technical guy, after all Dr. Ndemo is an economist and I think overall Ndemo is/has been excellent to our sector. So what do you think is Dr. Matiangi's advantage? Remember, the Vetting Committee in Parliament might ask the same questions and we may need the answers to defend the choice our Digital President has made. walu. ________________________________ From: stephen Mutoro <smutoro@yahoo.com> To: Walubengo J <jwalu@yahoo.com> Cc: KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2013 7:35 PM Subject: Re: [kictanet] Fred Matiangi, Cabinet Secretary for ICT Dear Walubengo: He is the one. Dr Matiang'i is a great man. He taught me West African Literature at the University of Nairobi! You may also be interested to see why your good friend Dr Ndemo will have to bid farewell to the ICT Ministry where he has literally made his second home for the last years. He has been anti-consumer and we wish him well - whether he is appointed as CS or a PS in any other Ministry. http://www.cofek.co.ke/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1529%3Awhy-ndemo-may-have-been-missed-on-the-ict-docket&catid=1%3Alatest-news&Itemid=60 Kind regards, Stephen Mutoro www.cofek.co.ke ________________________________ From: Walubengo J <jwalu@yahoo.com> To: smutoro@yahoo.com Cc: KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2013 6:37 PM Subject: Re: [kictanet] Fred Matiangi, Cabinet Secretary for ICT It appears the above is our new Cabinet Sec. for ICT.
