The best news I saw while on holiday at the close of 2009 is that Ory Okolloh, better known as blogger Kenyan Pundit, is to be the new Google Policy Manager for Africa. This is very good news for Africa, because the former Executive Director of Ushahidi, truly is passionate about Africa and understands the issues for the continent.
As we wish her well in the new role, it is important to state, on behalf of myself, that my expectations for that office of the Policy Manager for Google are high and that I will be watching with much interest.
Congratulations, Ory!
