[kictanet] A good piece by Dr. Bitange Ndemo

[Ngigi Waithaka]

If I ever have a chance to sit down with Dr Ndemo I will ask just *one*
question:

You were in Government as the PS ICT for 10 years, with a golden chance to
formulate the policies that you are now saying we need. Yet, you wasted
that chance and if anything, oversaw the domination of the Kenya ICT scene
by foreign firms, implementing products & services that could have been
done here and also oversaw the abolishing of the import tax on software,
that is needed to shield the nascent software industry and hence exporting
even more Kenyan jobs to those countries like India, who probably need them
more than we do!

So, what has changed now? Is this a case of Saul converting on his way to
Damascus?

Would that be *one* question?
