<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hi ICT activists!<br>
<br>
Just want to let you know that yesterday I had a successful dissertation
defense, and I became Daktari Warigia, earning my doctorate of philosophy in
public policy from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. My heartfelt thanks
to KICTANet and KIF, in particular, for helping me get this far. I am grateful.
Shukrani. Here is the footnote I included in the dissertation to thankall of
you. Please let me know if you name is not in here,and you want it in or if you
see misspellings or if you want to see the current Kenya chapter. Please email
me OFFLINE, (so as not to spam the list) at <a href="mailto:warigia@gmail.com"

binding by May 15th, so email me quickly. Next step, publication . . . <br>

Would like to treat all of you who helped me to nyama choma and beer. So lets
arrange. I will be in Kenya from June through August! <br>
<br>
Hugs and Thanks! Rigia<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The material in this section is based on sixty-five qualitative semi-structured
interviews conducted from 2004-2006 in Kenya. Additional interviews were
conducted in Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda. I also conducted participant
observation, and sat in on dozens of meetings of the organizations KIF and
KICTAnet as well as several national and transnational conferences on ICT. I
conducted interviews in Kenya with former members of parliament, high ranking
government officials, academics, private sector participants, and civil society
advocates. I take responsibility for all content and interpretations. No
individual named below can be held responsible for any insights or conclusions
made in this article. All errors are my own. Several interviewees requested
anonymity. Nonetheless, the sample below of those who allowed their names to be
used gives a sense of the scope and depth of the interviews conducted. Several
individuals deserve special thanks, including Juma Okech, the Secretary of
E-Government, Bitange Ndemo, the Permanent Secretary for Information and
Communications, Marcel Werner, the Secretary of the Kenya Information and
Communications Technology Federation, Alice Munyua, the Kenyan representative
of APC, and CCK Board Member, Amos Opiyo of the Ministry of Planning, Dr.
Eric Aligula of the Kenya Institute of Public Policy Research and Analysis,
Henry Belsoi of Telkom Kenya, Jonathan Campaigne, Director of Pride Africa,
Kevit Desai, the President of Kenya IEEE, Mike Eldon, CEO of Symphony Software,
James Gachui, Founder of Wananchi Online, Dr. Kathryn Getau, Computer Science
Faculty of the University of Nairobi, Dr. Tim Waema, Computer Science faculty
of the University of Nairobi, Wallace Gichoho of Call Center Africa,
Mirjana Ilic of UNESCO, Michael Katundu, Communications Commission of Kenya,
Joseph Kiplagat, Computer Science Faculty, Moi University, Brian Longwe of
AFRISPA, Charles Nduati of Kenyatta University, Dr. Florence Etta, formerly of
IDRC, Edith Adera of IDRC, as well as various staff members, directors and
