@james I would not have said the same for Jobs at Apple. Apple is only a company and if it fails, it fails. Having a long term CEO might be good for a company, or bad, but the outcome of its success is more narrow and the expectations for human dignity and providing for the common good less incumbent upon it than for a government. Governments are different, they can really hurt people in a permanent way that transcends the capacity of a typical company. I can't say with certainty whether having Dr. Ndemo on for another 7 years would be good or bad for ICT, but I can say that having the same person in there for that many years will reduce the integrity of the government at large. --- OpenStack for Africa: http://signup.kili.io Musings: https://twitter.com/varud About Adam: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamcnelson On Sun, Jun 9, 2013 at 12:23 AM, James Nzomo <kazikubwa@gmail.com> wrote:

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...
