Hi Daktari,

I was tempted to say karibu but I realised three issues why that would be inappropriate

1. KICTAnet is like a perpetual bar brawl for which there is no formal invitation or welcome and the participants are in it for varied reasons many of each are never verbalised. 2. Actually your welcome party actually tool place when you your named by the president, from your email below it seems to have happend in your absence and the details have been purged from the achieves it might be a good idea to have them forwarded to you by Dr. Ndemo 2. You are still a nominee and it is possible that the vetting committee in parliament might reject your nomination based on a lack of "passion" for the job as you did not read your speech from an xPAD, you do not have a bluetooth or NFC ear peice permanently glued to your ear and finally you have not shared you twitter handle.

I look forward to engaging with you but most likely your principle secretaries as we try to remain relevant as the ICT sector (not that the post for ICT Executive in the counties is position number 10) and hope

Greetings Dr. Matiangi, I take this opportunity online to welcome you cordially as you await your confirmation. We have seen part of what you have achieved in the past and are confident that you shall be able to continue the good work that has been done by your able predecessors as well as bring in ideas that will catalyze growth of the ICT constituency in Kenya, EastAfrica and the world at large.

Dear Dr. Ndemo,

I take this early opportunity to wish you all the best in your interview for the position of Principal Secretary coming up later this week. I very sincerely hope the Lord will guide you, bless you indeed and see you continue to succeed. Your service to our nation has been outstanding. Your performance at the Ministry of Information speaks for itself. I thank you in my private capacity as a Kenyan citizen and wish you well as a friend and former colleague at the University of Nairobi.

I am hesitant to address any issues presumptively at this stage as I deliberately remain below the radar as expected and patiently await to go before the vetting committee in Parliament. I am sure that there will be plenty of opportunities to compare notes and share experiences. I look forward to learning more from you and others in the this sector and that together we can make our humble contribution in this part of the journey of life.

Fred Matiangi
