[kictanet] Who is ICT Board? Hijacked

[bitange at jambo.co.ke]

Barrack,
Several posts have come by on the role of ICT and I think it will be wise
if we sorted this in a town hall meeting similar to one we had on Malili. 
Honestly it feels as though some Neanderthal decided to create these
agencies without putting some thought to it.  Criticisms are good only
when you point out where there are gaps.

The other day I posted a policy proposal for comments but only one person
did respond.  What it means then is that this forum ni ya kuchongoana tu. 
Which really is unfortunate.  I have four other policy proposals that I
really think should push through then arouse sufficient interest from the
membership here.
