In November 2009, as Minister of Telecommunications, Post and New Technology, he had the opportunity from the President of Madagascar to enable the trunk routes on fibre optic cable for the whole of East Africa, a project known as Project Lion. This would link East Africa to East Asia and Europe with submarine internet fibre-optic cables. In March 2010, the Telecom Company TELMA, at that time, laid another submarine cable in the Consortium Eassy, which is a project reliant Madagascar with East Africa, ("Consortium Project to relay Madagascar to the African continent and the wider world").
