Dr. Ndemo,
Yours was an era full of great leaps in the ICT industry. I wish you well
in your other endeavours if it happens that you exit from government. There
are so many positives in the legacy you leave behind. I like the fact that
you were always available for interviews and you were always well versed
with happenings around the industry.
Wish you well and thanks for your service.
