Brian,
There is no tongue in cheek as concerns the PMG post or better still Chair of the PCK Board (I also have more than 2 kids), "mtaka cha uvunguni ni sharti ainame"
We must stop encouraging people to sit at home and wait for appointments from heaven, canvassing and putting yourself out there is essential even the dear lord says "ask and you shall receive", even though there are millions out there who might be more qualified and energetic than myself but they have not shown an interest in the post.

Hahaha Kivuva! Please, I can assure you that, unlike my brother Robert Yawe, I have no interest in PMG, and I am also sure that even Bobby's impassioned campaign is a bit tongue-in-cheek, I am sure there are many young, energetic, qualified people who can take this up. They just need a framework where some of us can provide them with strategic guidance, oversight and mentorship.

It would be great to have our own at the ministry. And while there, don't forget Brian for PMG!

I must confess that is a difficult one. But Dr Matiang'i brings with him the best of both worlds - especially civil society (SUNY) and at the same time public (as a senior lecturer and a close adviser of a retired powerful political figure). If am asked about one merit is this - Fred is an independent decision maker" He doesn't waste time on that. And what is more, he comes in with a fresh mindset - "I am not ICT person, yes, but I am a manager and a realist and not an idealist - I can get the nice stories of dreams of the likes of Konza City to the reality. He is particularly strong in designing winning proposals. I have an idea of his weakness, like anyone else, but I'd rather join him in celebrating his day as first CS, ICT for Kenya. What we need is to get him someone like John Walubengo as his PS! Cheers

@Mutoro,
I can feel your excitement. But lets interrogate the possible merits of Dr. Matiangi who taught you literature @ UoN - within the context of our ICT industry. What do you think Dr. Matiangi would bring on the table? I do appreciate that he does NOT need to be an IT/Technical guy, after all Dr. Ndemo is an economist and I think overall Ndemo is/has been excellent to our sector.
So what do you think is Dr. Matiangi's advantage? Remember, the Vetting Committee in Parliament might ask the same questions and we may need the answers to defend the choice our Digital President has made.
walu.

Dear Walubengo:
He is the one. Dr Matiang'i is a great man. He taught me West African Literature at the University of Nairobi! You may also be interested to see why your good friend Dr Ndemo will have to bid farewell to the ICT Ministry where he has literally made his second home for the last years. He has been anti-consumer and we wish him well - whether he is appointed as CS or a PS in any other Ministry. http://www.cofek.co.ke/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1529%3Awhy-ndemo-may-have-been-missed-on-the-ict-docket&catid=1%3Alatest-news&Itemid=60
