[kictanet] Google names first African Employee]

[Brian Longwe]

Let me add the voice to the many whose chests are sticking out with  
pride at the announcement of this prestigious appointment.

If there's anyone who can facilitate Google innovation into Kenya and  
the region, it is Mucheru - he has been a change agent in the local  
Kenyan Internet industry and I know that I am one of many who will be  
looking out to see "what next" with his work at Google.

Well done - Joe - we need to celebrate this in real KICTANET fashion  
with a little "Kililimbi" dance!!!
