Bill, You may be just right and in the process, we stand higher chances of getting the  ICT laws passed to send these "hackers" to jail.

William Ruto website was working fine..when I bumped into it this morning..now it has been re-directed to the KACC website...

No wonder these guys are avoiding ICT foras. Any slightly distorted media can cost them jobs... 

I see a dialogue entry point..by collectively working together with the August house members to sort out this persistent website beef they have had to keep with....from Kalonzo Musyoka and now to Ruto..

I would not touch ICTs with ten yard pole if I were a politician...I can say...

I found websites for hon. Julia Ojiambo, hon. William Ruto,  hon. Kalonzo Musyoka, hon. Raila Odinga, hon. Najib Balala,   hon. Uhuru Kenyatta but did not succeed for hon. Musalia Mudavadi, hon. Joseph Nyaga, and Nazlin Umar. I deliberataly avoided looking for hon. Mutahi Kagwe's website.  

Noticeably, Uhuru Kenyatta is ".ke"  and registered his domain in May 2005. The others have dot coms and dot net. The oldest was created in June and two were registered two days apart in September last year.

   Interesting debate..but I beg to disagree with Muriuki and others who
toe this thought process.....a quick google drill shows that the joke
is on us. I checked randomly on some of your anticipated
guests...and... 

1. Ruto William Samoei

3. Najib Balala

Email – najib at mombasa.co.ke

For those doing work/research..Why don't you check...
- is ICT community possibly alienating itself from the rest??
-what were these chaps avoiding by evading the dabate??
-and other questions...
  
 Then you will realise that these chaps are much cleverer than we think...

Many thanks for the comments that have come through  the list . it shows the
dynamism of the ICT fraternity .

The absence of the presidential aspirants  talks loudly that either they are 
not familiar with issues , or if they are familiar they do not them consider
significant  at national level or they do not care. Either way  we in the
ICT world are proactive people and instead of castigating them let us  roll 
our sleeves and work with them  and  make sure they understand the issues,
the significance and  why they matter.

This is an on-going programme and  as indicated in the debate and  we shall
have another session in July and hopefully the political scenario on the 
presidential aspirants will be clearer . For now,  to determine who to
invite was based on  government of national unity  versus the opposition as
broadly perceived in the national political arena. After the party elections 
we shall have clarity on who to invite in the next round .

The overall objective of the project is to ensure that we place the ICT
agenda  as campaign issue and we need to show the presidential aspirants
   that ICT is an national issue
