[kictanet] ICTs Strengthening Democratic Governance in Kenya

[Edith Adera]

Thanks Njenga...we do hope that it will provide ordinary Kenyans with a space to share their views on current reform issues for their voices to be heard and relayed to the agenda 4 institutions for meanginful change. We need to add the voices of ordinary Kenyans to the voices of the political class. ICTs afford us the opportunity to do so in an efficient manner!

Edith

I think this is one of the most progressive thing we can have in the country and which will propel the country forward. Loooking at what E-Log did and other almost instantaneous relays of the referendum results, this definitely is a step in the right direction. I look forward to seeing it grow.

Development of an IT platform to monitor the election process in Kenya ("an eye on 2012)

For your information, IDRC is supporting an online platform (still under development) to monitor implementation of agenda 4 - visit www.agendayetu.org<http://www.agendayetu.org> . We have worked with our very own Eng. Rege to launch this. It is our desire that the views expressed will not end up in the cyberworld, but will be synthesized and channelled to the respective agenda 4 institutions and parliament. Eng. Rege will be central in facilitating these linkages.

Kenyans must be engaged in shaping our common future.

Your suggestions to stimulate and improve the site are welcome! As I said, it's workin progress.

Regards

Edith
