From a one silent reader of many postings on the good old KICTANET: I have noted the zeal with which Bw PS has been working in opening up GoK. Now we have opendata. Sasa serikali itakuwa siri kali kweli? Just been reading one of the longest articles Time magazine has ever done on Kenya (4 pages!) and little wonder the magazine has good words to spare for Dr Ndemo on his struggles to bridge the digital divide around here. Those who haven't read, get a feel of it in TIME July 11 issue pgs 43-46.
Since many of us like to criticise, let me spare a minute to congratulate you for the efforts to open up our Gava to the public. I hope to see you in the top 100 most influential people in Africa when newAfrican publishes their list coming year. Nice weekend ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, July 7, 2011 6:40:44 PM Subject: Re: [kictanet] Internet Rights and Principles in Swahili! Washington, The write up looks bad. It must be the Blackberry. In operations management we call this learning curve. Ndemo.
Scores:
Oh, I wish I could score Dr. Ndemo's Kiswahili based on grammar, spelling, etc. Kiswahili is such a tough language I always wonder why Kenyans even bother about it. See how badly our Technology leading light has failed in it:-))

Grace Mutung'u, Yafaa tujaribu kutafsiri hizi kanuni. Hapa nipo na wa Korea wa Kusini na nimewaulisha wafanyalo wakiwa na maelezo kwa lugha ya kiingereza. Waniambia ati vyo vikubwa vyao vina lazimika katafsiri kila maandishi kutoka lugha zote.
Majina kama internet yakiwa mapya, wanaitafutia jina lao. Ni lazima tuanze kupatiana huduma kama hiyo kwa lugha zetu zote hasa kwa Kiswahili.
Sidhani Bi Grace Mutang'u ameandika jina lake vizuri. Sabau alama ya n'gu kwa kiafrika yapata kuandikwa vile nimeiandika na si ng'u. Labda Mwalimu Prof. Kimani atuelezee.
Ndemo.
