[kictanet] CONDOLENCES-R.I.P, Dr. J. Oketch

Mon Feb 2 13:09:10 EAT 2009

Dear All,

Having worked closely with Dr Okech in many of the e-Government initiatives
in the country and across East Africa, I'm deeply saddened by his demise. I
will cherish the memories of the times we spent together. My heartfelt
commiserations to family, friends and colleagues.

Kindest Regards
Harry
