But I thought I remember many thinking Dr. Ndemo was wrong for the ministry because his qualifications were in Finance and Economics and he was replacing Engineer Rege who was thought most qualified for the position? 

The question we should ask is how much access will they have to State House. For Kagwe and Ndemo, having the ear of State House really helped in moving some of the major hurdles to their goals.

Yawe what do you mean it took years to get Ndemo to reach his current level of appreciation of ICT? That is condescending. Dr. Ndemo simply did what government is supposed to do, listen to stakeholders to include their concerns when crafting policy. Given that he did many of his degrees abroad, I tend to think Daktari had seen a lot of the technology you speak of looong before you even contemplated it here.

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.
