Hi Kivuva. Yes and congratulations to him. But that's something completely different from ITU to an individual and criteria based on that. On Mon, Sep 28, 2015, at 09:29 AM, Mwendwa Kivuva wrote:

Dr. Waudo, I've been made to believe Kenya is the IT powerhouse in the region? What of the award our digital President Uhuru won?

Thanks Barrack. Unfortunately Kenya is not a signatory to this deal. In Africa only Egypt, Morocco and Mauritius (the leading IT powerhouses on the continent) have signed on. Kenya is stuck with the "stone-age" EA Common Tariffs. It is ironic that the expanded Information Technology Agreement will be being celebrated at December's WTO meeting in Nairobi when the host country is not party to it.
