Hi, My take is that the interpretation of the title Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) is that they are 3 distinct and independent functions in which case the I and the T have been screwed. We are back to the drawing board in as far as the development of ICT has we know it is concerned, I can assure you that his first act after vetting will be to implement the 60% local content rule which will confirm my fears that his area of specialisation is communication in the narrow sense of the word. It took us many years to get Ndemo to his current level of appreciation of ICT as indivisible, I hope there are some young and energetic minds out there that are ready to spoon feed Dr. Matiangi and I pray that Mutoro is not on that panel otherwise it shall be a double whammy.

We look forward to working with Dr. Matiangi. Although his CV does not show much on ICT, it is full of diplomacy, lobbying and achievement on many fronts. Let us all wish him well, cooperate on all positive initiatives he will spearhead, and condemn every effort to take us back to the neolithic period. Lastly and foremost, Bwana Matiangi, welcome to Kictanet -- ______________________ Mwendwa Kivuva For Business Development Transworld Computer Channels Cel: 0722402248 twitter.com/lordmwesh transworldAfrica.com | Fluent in computing kenya.or.ke | The Kenya we know _______________________________________________ kictanet mailing list kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet Unsubscribe or change your options at https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/robertyawe%40yahoo.co....
