Sometimes it is easy to blame someone because of appearing not to be doing their job right, yet there might be mitigating circumstances.
In the past few years, I have not seen any actions by either Kenya’s foreign ministry, defence ministry or interior ministry that I saw as sub-standard.
However, I believe that the Cabinet Secretaries of these 3 ministries sit in the National Security Council (not sure whether that is what it is called). This means that the 3 CSs get solid intel from National Intelligent Service (NIS) regularly.
The intel they receive no doubt helps them a lot in planning how to manage their ministries.
The same cannot be said about ICT CS.
I am not suggesting that ICT CS should sit in the National Security Council. No. However, the way the world is at the moment, and especially because of reasons explained in several posts on this thread, and also on other threads, it is crucial for ICT CS to be briefed by Kenyan intel about matters to do with his ministry.
The briefings need not be frequent. Once a month would be enough.
This is because, if ICT ministry does not improve, all efforts Kenya is doing to grow the economy will be to no avail. Good management of ICT ministry is key to Kenya recording impressive economic growth rates.
I will give 2 reasons why I make the above conclusion.
1. Generally, international media/influential international commentators do not feature Kenya very positively. If you look carefully at international media/influential international commentators reporting about Sub-Saharan Africa, Kenya is not one of their darlings.
According to these Western Opinion Shapers, the countries doing well in Sub-Saharan Africa - the countries where Western investors should aim to invest because of their good policies and promising economies - are countries like Ethiopia, Ghana, Botswana etc. Not Kenya.
However, when it comes to Information Technology companies (Start-Ups) based in Sub-Saharan Africa, and ‘started’ in the past 10 years by Western ‘investors’, it is very likely that those based in Kenya equal those based in ALL other Sub-Saharan African countries COMBINED!
Experience has taught me that, when you see statistics on the ground being opposite of what is being claimed by ‘experts’, there is ALWAYS something cooking. Things like this are never coincidental or accidental.
There is always a racket somewhere.
Currently, I estimate that at least 95% of information Kenyans receive is managed by the
global-powers-that-be.
If this situation was reversed, as has been suggested on this thread, then the racket mentioned above would have been exposed and neutralised.
2.
LAPSSET (Lamu Port, South Sudan, Ethiopia Transport Corridor)
The hate that they have for LAPSSET is so deep, that it is irrational. These are people who are not Kenyan, and neither are they citizens of neighbouring countries, yet they are so mad about an infrastructure project in Kenya that they are ready to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to sabotage it.

Like stated above, the
global-powers-that-be have an irrational hatred of LAPSSET project. They would do anything to make it fail.
Something very important I have noticed about the
global-powers-that-be vis-à-vis the LAPSSET project: They have constantly bad-mouthed the project, expecting Kenya to grow cold feet and abandon it, but that didn’t happen.
Already, 1st Berth of Lamu Port is complete and Berth 2 and 3 are 70% complete.
Apparently, the
global-powers-that-be believe that if South Sudan and Ethiopia abandon the project, then it would collapse. Well, it would no longer be called LAPSSET, but that has no effect on the Lamu Port, nor on the supporting infrastructure like roads, electricity etc.
At the moment, both South Sudan and Ethiopia are facing extreme pressure from
global-powers-that-be to formally exit from LAPSSET.
Actually - and this the key to success of the project - as suggested above, if most of the information Kenyans receive is managed by
Kenyans, withdrawal of South Sudan and Ethiopia from the project would have ZERO effect.
REASON? Kenyans would become aware of lucrative economic activities IN KENYA that would thrive because of the port, and the infinite business opportunities that come with the opening up of another “economic corridor” to augment the Mombasa-Nairobi-Kisumu/Eldoret “economic corridor”.
There are potential MASSIVE economic activities I am aware of that would become reality (that are currently hidden from majority of Kenyans thru’ manipulation of info-flow), but won’t go into that now.
I predict that, if most of the information Kenyans receive is managed by
Kenyans, the Lamu Port would be a game changer - it would quickly become the fastest growing port in Africa, with or without South Sudan and Ethiopia involvement.
Now you see why “they” don’t want us to manage our information flow.
Many people reading this would not believe me. However, I have discovered where the problem is; Why all African countries seem to have insurmountable problems.
“They” know if Africans manage their info-flow, their rape of Africa will come to an end.
Information management is the KEY.
