[kictanet] [Fwd: Re: [Fwd: presidential aspirants' debate on ICT enabled Kenyan Economy]

[alice]

Hi Shem,

Thanks for the probe - as I recall all the presidential aspirants  
were invited - Hon. Kibaki is the incumbent and his Govt has already  
clearly demonstrated both their vision and made some crystallisation  
and deliverables over the period - we wanted to hear what/how the  
others intended to handle ICT issues in their government (if elected)  
and what part ICT played in their vision.

Fortunately (or unfortunately) the loud silence says it all.......
