  Hi ICT activists!
  Just want to let you know that yesterday I had a successful
  dissertation defense, and I became Daktari Warigia, earning my
  doctorate of philosophy in public policy from Harvard's
  Kennedy School of Government. My heartfelt thanks to KICTANet
  and KIF, in particular, for helping me get this far. I am
  grateful. Shukrani. Here is the footnote I included in the
  dissertation to thankall of you. Please let me know if you
  name is not in here,and you want it in or if you see
  misspellings or if you want to see the current Kenya chapter.

  binding by May 15th, so email me quickly. Next step,

  The material in this section is based on sixty-five
  qualitative semi-structured interviews conducted from
  2004-2006 in Kenya. Additional interviews were conducted in
  Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda. I also conducted participant
  observation, and sat in on dozens of meetings of the
  organizations KIF and KICTAnet as well as several national and
  transnational conferences on ICT. I conducted interviews in
  Kenya with former members of parliament, high ranking
  government officials, academics, private sector participants,
  and civil society advocates.  I take responsibility for all
  content and interpretations. No individual named below can be
  held responsible for any insights or conclusions made in this
  article. All errors are my own. Several interviewees requested
  anonymity. Nonetheless, the sample below of those who allowed
  their names to be used gives a sense of the scope and depth of
  the interviews conducted. Several individuals deserve special
  thanks, including Juma Okech, the Secretary of E-Government,
  Bitange Ndemo, the Permanent Secretary for Information and
  Communications, Marcel Werner, the Secretary of the Kenya
