Kenya's TEAMS on schedule
The East Africa Marine System (TEAMS) fibre optic cable will be launched this Friday, 12 June 2009, as scheduled, by President Mwai Kibaki.
Information and Communications Permanent Secretary (PS) Dr Bitange Ndemo refuted reports that the cable might have interfered with both the heritage and archaeological sites at Mombasa and confirmed due diligence was adhered to, and that the project is on course.
Ndemo said on Tuesday that the project was undertaken with advice and expertise from the National Museums of Kenya and the National Environmental Management Authority NEMA.
"From the outset we wish to set the record straight that the landing of the TEAMS cable is right on course and that the launch ceremony will be presided over by His Excellency the President Mwai Kibaki," said Ndemo.
