Bitange Ndemo
Dr Bitange Ndemo, the former Permanent Secretary (PS) in the Ministry of Information and Communications, can be termed as the father of Kenya’s ICT sector. His position as PS entailed policy formulation, and over- seeing implementation of ICT projects. A passionate man in matters ICT, his priority was to connect East Africa to the rest of the world through the under- sea fibre optic cable.

Bitange was at the forefront in developing the demand for ICTs by actively promoting Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) in both urban and rural areas. When the cable was switched on in 2009, Dr Bitange Ndemo was at the forefront to ensure universities got access to broadband Internet.
