Friends, Here below is my Souvenir E-Mail from the Head of the Judiciary (perhaps the most important arm of government especially at the moment) as we go through a land-mark transition. Souvenir because it is the very first time I am receiving an EMAIL communication from a Head of the 3 arms of government (GoK). It is my second most treasured e-communications; the first being the Letter from then Head of Public Service, Prof. Philip Mbithi to all PS's, DG Intelligence (then Special Branch), Heads of State Corporations, etc cautioning them against connecting to Internet (read ARCC & UNEP) without the express clearance from his office. The third one was a reply from the then CEO of one of Kenya's top-most media houses when ARCC wrote to interest them in Internet and e-Mail. Your guess is as good as mine! We've come a long way - but still have much longer to go. Hongera once more Your Lordship! Shem   Shem J.

Duncan Okello, Heko Bw. CJ! Just seen in yester's papers ..... The Chief Justice picks Duncan Okello, Formerly CEO Society for International Development (SID - East Africa) to head the new office of 'Chief of Staff'. Couldn't have gotten a more appropriate person! Right vibes here coming from the CJ's corner. Alamin Kimathi, ........ and now Duncan Okello. I remember about 3 years ago when NVK-Mageuzi was scouting for a suitable person to spearhead development of its Roadmap, Duncan’s kept propping up! The preliminary thoughts he offered, even if only in terms of interrogations went a long way to inform and guide the Roadmap – which has to date greatly also influenced the thinking behind, formation and launch of the Diaspora Alliance and the G-47/Third Force.   Hongera Nd.
