Congratulations bwana CS, Congratulations Victor, Congratulations Sammy.<br><br><br></div><div>Back to the wishlist:<br><br></div><div>5) A return of the multi-stakeholder model of governance and decision making in the sector (KEPSA) is not the only stakeholder as we have witnessed in the course of the year, we would wish to see more stakeholders engaged by government on an equal footing, Private Sector, Civil Society, Technical Community, Academia.<br><br></div><div>6) Availability of the CS and PS to the Community: I hope going forwad the CS and PS will not be very busy with travel and other commitments as has been the case in the last two years. Having them support and officiate ICT events boosts the morale of practioner's in the sector. Stability of a family is guaranteed when the Father and mother are available. I hope the CS and PS can also respond to queries raised on the mailing lists from time to time.<br><br></div><div>Ni hayo tu kwa sasa. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Prosperous 2016.<br><br></div><div>To the CS and PS, tuko pamoja<br><br></div><div>Regards<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div id="DDB4FAA8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><table style="border-top:1px solid #aaabb6;margin-top:10px">
