[kictanet] is stakeholder forum necessary?

[Rebecca Wanjiku]

i was wondering, should there be a form of agreement that atleast 50% of stakeholder input should be taken up....
so that we can justify the engagement, otherwise we could end up engaging, taking all the tea but at the end of the day, the AG produces his own document without the necessary stakeholder inputs

Yes; talk, talk, talk is sometimes terribly boring
especially for the "doers" NOT "talkers"oriented. But
from the little diplomatic processes I know, last
minute arm-twisting shape many outcomes hence most
critical. My sister! abandon ship at this stage at
your own-peril.

The good thing about our "Park", the absence or the
ill-defined piper which ensures ICT tunes of very
differing rhythmical chords.

Sure, the forum was most useful esp. for commom-good
advocates away from many other quarters-interest ones.

I tell you, it was worth every cup of coffee.
