[kictanet] Internet Rights and Principles in Swahili!

[CLEM NYANDIERE]

>From a one silent reader of many postings on the good old KICTANET: 
I have noted the zeal with which Bw PS has been working in opening up GoK. Now 
we have opendata. Sasa serikali itakuwa siri kali kweli?
Just been reading one of the longest articles Time magazine has ever done on 
Kenya (4 pages!) and little wonder the magazine has good words to spare for Dr 
Ndemo on his struggles to bridge the digital divide around here. Those who 
haven't read, get a feel of it in TIME July 11 issue pgs 43-46.

Since many of us like to criticise, let me spare a minute to congratulate you 
for the efforts to open up our Gava to the public. I hope to see you in the top 
100 most influential people in Africa when newAfrican publishes their list 
coming year. 


Nice weekend

Washington,
The write up looks bad.  It must be the Blackberry. In operations
management we call this learning curve.



Ndemo.
