[kictanet] Fred Matiangi, Cabinet Secretary for ICT

[George Nyabuga]

I think there has been a lot of lobbying, even though of course the guys promised to give the jobs to 'proper' technocrats. We know that we were being duped, somewhat, because these are political appointments. I think Matiangi has been leading, among other projects, the televising of parliament, if I am not wrong. As someone alluded here, again speculatively, he was (and perhaps still is) very close to a very senior Kisii politician. And due to the monster called 'ethnic balancing', Dr Ndemo will most likely be moved to another department, if all. But he is still welcome at the University of Nairobi where he can contribute a lot. What I am sure though is that Dr Ndemo has been brilliant, and hope he can still retain his position (wishful thinking, perhaps!) irrespective of where the Secretary comes from.
