Congratulations to Dr. Ndemo 

I highly applaud this appointment and Daktari's destination in particular,  Brussels. 

While I recognise the posting is to the Kindom of Belgium and Luxembourg, Brussels is also the "seat" of the EU. 

At at a time when very crucial Tech & Digital Rights legislations are being negotiated there, Daktari is the right person to be in Brussels to gather policy and regulatory insights that we will need to import here. I have in mind the Digital Services Act, the Digital Markets Act, the AI Act, the transatlantic Trade and Technology Council negotiations particularly on international data transfers, semiconductor technologies and so on.

All these are policies we will have to implement here sooner rather than late. We need such an ICT evangelist there.

Congratulations once again.

Thank you for posting this. I can confirm that we at KICTANet didn't abandon him and we continued to engage with him throughout. 😀

Congratulations Ambassador/Prof Bitange Ndemo. Well deserved. Brussels being the seat of the EU this is a plum posting and very well deserved. As we say in Kiswahili:-

Listers,

I believe it is in order to congratulate one of us on his deserving appointment.

Dr. BITANGE NDEMO has finally landed a government appointment as Kenya's new ambassador to Brussels-Belgium.
Dr.NDEMO said after he was sacked as PS by the Jubilee govt in 2013 many of his friends deserted him.
He added that he used to receive about 40 calls in a day but none was forthcoming until he thought his cellphone was defective and took it to a fundi :-)

Dr. Ndemo did not abandon KICTANet even after he was abandoned by his friends after he lost his govt job.
