[kictanet] board members - Procedure for appointment?

[John Walubengo]

Lizette,

FE's contribution to ICT in Kenya is quite exceptional and
outstanding.  However, when it comes to sitting on
non-elective boards, other factors tend to override.

The legislation (Gazette Notice) for the Kenya ICT board
and other similar boards accross the world leaves the
search and appoint procedures at the pleasure of the
President and his respective minister. Now, in a market
with excessive ICT and related talent like Kenya, one can
only understand if some qualified members miss out
(including me maybe? ;-)

Nevertheless, what matters is if the new board can deliver
the anticipated benefits within reasonable timeframes. And
I believe the six or seven of them will not succeed without
the input the likes of FE et al.
