The annual East African Internet Governance Forum (EAIGF) event was held
recently at the Jacaranda Hotel Nairobi. It was preceded by the Kenya
IGF that was held at the same venue a fortnight ago. The meeting was
attended by many delegates from East Africa sub-region and addressed by
the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Information and Communication
of Kenya, Mr. Bitange Ndemo who addressed issues concerning Internet
connectivity within the East Africa region as well as the dire need for
