Read up on Samsung... Not based on a single individual. Same with HP/IBM/GE etc. These are all companies that are over 100 years old (save for HP). Yes. HP has a few issues. If it overcomes them it emerges stronger. Now. Kenya has to be thinking longer term. A nations outlook is not a quarter. Or a financial year. It's mainly generational.  So we necessarily have to have a versatile institution that is not based on any one man, because in 2130, we have no idea what bad ideas can be propagated by leadership, but we are sure we can create institutions that transcend individual error.

A year later and Samsung has started trumping Apple...

Will they continue to remain relevant in the next decade, or will they descend like in the 80s san steve jobs?

Jobs died. Isn't even around for consult. The company lives on...

Focusing on the individual prevents us from building the right institutional framework that transcends individual brilliance/incompetence.

@Adam would you say the same about Jobs vs other apple CEO's?
Sometimes a single individual is what it takes to lay a good foundation and point an org in the right direction, even if it means benevolent dictatorship.

Ndemo had made advances in ICT social circles to be accessible and approachable.
I do not know other PS who have got on the ground to be accessible.

I hope the new PS will continue with this legacy...
