[Kictanet] Re: Appointment of New CCK Board

[waudo siganga]

Congratulations Alice. Sorry I saw this late as I am still out of the
country. I am delighted that the government has seen the importance of
multi-stakeholder governance for ICT and that Alice will carry the
mantle on behalf of the CS in this regard. It's a big honour and a big
task. Best wishes!
