We've also seen the opaque nature of govt discarded and stakeholders invited to transparent deliberations. I can only thank you for your contribution to society. I will one day nominate you to one of the many Halls of Fame when the right one presents itself.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Please allow me to sleep and share that funny dream Alice has - that you get to take the mantle at the Ministry that handles KPLC.</div><div style>I remember the CS said something about power (the "power" represented by the "P"). Having you there would be great, but I can only wish you well in dealing with the "vested interests". We'd surely love to have reliable power in this country, even if it still remains expensive. Children born in certain parts of the world only know what a blackout is theoretically from the books. Even their teachers can only simulate a blackout using a switch and curtains while in KE, my 2-year old daughter can already explain to you what a blackout is. It sux and I pray (sorry....dream with Alice!) you get that portfolio.</div>

Re: [kictanet] Reviewing Kenya ICT Board
Performance- You can write a guest post<br>
</font> </div>
<div><br>
Listers,<br>
It is an open secret that my departure from the
Ministry of Information<br>
and Communications is imminent.� As seconds,
minutes and days tick by; I<br>
take this opportunity to bid you all farewell.<br>
<br>
During the last seven years that I have worked
here, I have learned a lot<br>
from you all. I could not have benefited from the
learning experience<br>
without your constant support, criticism and
encouragement.� If I have to<br>
do it all over again, I would not change anything
to perform my duties<br>
well. In my position as Permanent Secretary, I
have gained considerable<br>
knowledge and thus I shall always cherish this, as
one of the most<br>
satisfying phases in my career.<br>
<br>
Further, I have shared a special bond with all of
you both virtually and<br>
in reality.� I shall take away with me special
memories of our time<br>
together. I remain committed to ideals of Kictanet
and would remain active<br>
in its deliberations.� I must admit that I may
have underestimated the<br>
amount of pressure there is to aspire for a job.�
There are politicians<br>
from my county trying to create a wedge between
myself, Dr. Matian�gi and<br>
Hon. Nyachae.� Others from other parts of the
country can be summed as<br>
extortionists and possible toll collectors at
every level.� I shall<br>
however, take the interview on Thursday and if
fate has it that I shall<br>
once more serve my country then I shall proudly do
so.<br>
<br>
It is now my singular honour to introduce Dr. Fred
Matian�gi, our Cabinet<br>
Secretary nominee whom I have had the privilege of
knowing for the past<br>
many years.� While I was in Standard 7, Dr.
Matian�gi had just started<br>
standard 1 at Manga Primary School.� His sister
Margaret was my classmate.<br>
I have known him as an honest person and devout
Seventh Day Adventist. <br>
He has an impeccable record of integrity having
served in several<br>
governance programs.<br>
<br>
Dr. Matian�gi is a fast learner and has
extensively published.� We taught<br>
at University of Nairobi together and his record
as a lecturer was<br>
faultless.� We simply have a great mind to steer
our sector. I want to<br>
take the earliest opportunity to wish him the
best. Although Dr. Matian�gi<br>
is a good friend, it will not be practical for us
to work together.� The<br>
constitution demands diversity.� We shall create
fodder for politicians to<br>
drive further wedge between us.� I have chosen
friendship and will look<br>
for alternative areas to serve my country.<br>
<br>
Let me therefore wish each one of you the very
best in all of our future<br>
endeavors.<br>
<br>
Bitange Ndemo.<br>
