[kictanet] Holding our Leaders Accountable

All,

I am just venting on the dismal performance of our aspiring presidential
candidates, I have noticed a trend where those in leadershipship positions
let alone those aspiring for the same confirm their attendance to a
certain function and then not show up or best case scenario show up 2-3
hours late.  I keep asking myself why do we as Kenyans accept this
behavior, and I am at a loss!

Actually, my pesa nane is that we as the citizens need to start demanding
accountability in that when one says they will attend a function then they
should keep to their word, after all why are electing people whose word
doesnt count for much?  Additionally, most of us also have busy work lives
and the fact that we were willing to stop what we were doing to sit down
to hear what these aspiring candidates have to say about ICT is a
testament to how important we feel ICT to be to the country.

I am one for making strong statements, and a one page ad expressing our
displeasure and questioning why the candidates are scared of facing a
serious group of citizens wanting to know where each of them stands in ICT
would be in order!  I am sure if it was one of those meetings where fans
are shouting at the top of their voices, and no one is asking any serious
questions they probably would show up, we need to start demanding more
from our politicians!

Just my thoughts!
