[kictanet] Who is ICT Board? Hijacked

Mon Apr 5 08:27:48 EAT 2010

Dear all,
The discussion needs to be on the institutional framework for ICTs in Kenya,
not just on KICTB. It needs to cover KICTB, NCS and DEG/GITS. It also needs
to include the plethora of ICT industry associations that are not effective.
I can organize such a townhall meeting in Chiromo like the first one.
However, for such a meeting to be useful, it needs to be preceded by some
guided discussion on the same. Alternatively, one or two  persons can
prepare presenations to guide the discussions, with these presentations
being made available earlier for participants to acquint with them. I am
also prepared to be one of those persons. tim
