On that note, I think the concern for everyone (lister or not) with a passion and stake in the ICT sector is what if the new guy does not perform or is not seen to pilot or steer-head the industry in the right direction!! How would we raise this and can such  a guy be replaced by public opinion or whatever the legal guys call it?

the delinking of Parliamentarians being ministers was the beginning of delinking politics from economy. Ndemo was a visionary and set the vision. sometimes i think anyone with a good mind and a good set of researchers can come up with world class policies if they set their minds to it....wouldnt any of us do the same? simple just study world leading ict ideas and replicate! but then again there are buses

The day you have policies in place such that a change of personnel does not disrupt anything, is the day the country will become a developed country

Some things need to be seen to have some form of continuity. That's why you have security of tenure in other areas - judiciary, for instance

I wouldn't support a system that is disrupted every 5 years. There are some posts that need to be replaced if the incumbent has doesn't perform, resigns (willingly or otherwise), is hit by a bus (thanks Martin) etc, not just because of regime change.

Ndemo's post is one of them, in MY opinion

Hehehe, @Martin, that explanation of bus factor is totally hilarious! 

"Getting hit by a bus" could take many different forms. This could be a person taking a new job, having a baby, changing their lifestyle or life status, or literally getting hit by a bus

I feel Ndemo should have been on that list on that post ... he is the best guy and he has the blue print to the future that we in this industry yearn for

This statement makes one feel that the Kenyan ICT industry has such a low bus factor .... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_factor

... I do not say Dr Fred will not do it but I would have wished for Ndemo to be the driver...

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,but that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.As we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,our presence automatically liberates others.
