The advice given to me was that in all these interactions, I would meet diverse views on various aspects of policy in the ICT sector generally. I try to ‘check in’ from time to time and keenly follow conversations on a number of policy issues. I have learned a lot from some of these exchanges.

In collaboration with colleagues at the Ministry, including Ndemo’s successor, Mr. Tiampati, we have ensured to include, invite and very sincerely acknowledge our preceding colleagues in all activities, especially where we are launching products, reports etc. that are a culmination of efforts they initiated at the Ministry- postal payment gateway switch, the National Broadband Strategy etc.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:8.0pt;margin-left:0in'><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>At the main Connected Kenya event, I successfully persuaded Paul Kukubo and other colleagues involved in the planning to allow me to have a generous time on the podium with Minister Pogisho as this was the most public opportunity for handover. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:8.0pt;margin-left:0in'><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>There sure is something fundamentally serious with people- adults -who tell lies such are being told here.

I hurriedly made my remarks and had to leave when I was done- at 1105hrs- because we were expected at a cabinet meeting starting at 11am.
