[kictanet] Kenya ICT Board launches Public Panels (1 attachment)

[MediaSpeak Africa]

I regret that I was out of town on urgent business and missed the luncheon.
This is definitely an excellent strategy by the ICT Board of bringing in
stakeholders and other interested parties to contribute to the development
of the sub sector in the country.

Am sure the public panels will be comprised of like minded groups and
individuals and, as you say, we are in safe hands.
