[kictanet] ICT Authority Board Appointments Quashed by the High Court

[S.M. Muraya]

Walu,

No one disputes we need Academics in the KICTA.

How does the KICTA (following their slogan) make Kenya a "Top 10 Global ICT
Hub"?

Noted an EU paper about their top ICT Hubs

http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-14-435_en.htm

The UK tops in academics while Germany tops in research/practicals
(patents).

Regards

Murigi / Stanley Muraya
