                        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>
