Re: [kictanet] Reviewing Kenya ICT Board
Performance- You can write a guest post<br>

<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>
<br>
