Considering the way Shem has been treated here by the system we have to give him our congratulations for the trust and honour that the Govt. of Ruanda has placed on him by giving him such an important portfolio to manage. Very sad for Kenya but Washington says, what do we expect when we keep the best down! We wish you all the best Shem and most important of all - job satisfaction and peace of mind.
