Dear Alex,
There is no crisis or tension in the ICT legislative process.  I was
pointing out the opportunities that are available to you in ensuring that
the piece of legislation you want is passed.  As far as I am concerned all
of us have representation in parliament and we should utilize that
opportunity instead of blaming the Government.

The Safari Park proposals shall be given to the MPs.  The Thursday date
was set anticipating that parliament will go on recess.  Now that they are
not going on recess, they have proposed August 30th and 31st.  We are
looking for resources for a venue in Mombasa and shall revert to you.


Regards


Bitange.
