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.

It seems Dr. Ndemo was busy working and putting Kenya on the map while
others were lobbying.

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
