[kictanet] Universal Access in Kenya (Is it really working?)

[bitange at jambo.co.ke]

Dakitari,
From my experience, you will never achieve universal understanding of any concept.  Otherwise we should have understood that heaven is what we make it here on earth.  But you still find people hoping that in the end we shall move to some place without problems and never have to work.

This is not possible so individually we need to get hold of one person and fully make him/her understand and possibly take the plunge.  In the next few years the concept will spread even better than our original thoughts about it.  Implementation in Kenya never works at concept level but through actual learning (or copying) experiences.

Regards

Ndemo.

Dakatari,

Actually my concern is that even those who should understand are constantly 
asking questions...which means the concept it not very clear to them. Those of 
us who may understand constantly try to explain but what we get are more 
questions than answers...maybe that is why I expressed it as a 
concern...justifiably. I believe many, including Edith, are already doing what 
they can in the rural areas to get people to understand but I am not sure what 
is needed to get more people to do more albeit pro bono.

Nyaki

Dakitari,
Paul has given some good details.  The question now is not whether we understand 
the concept or not.  It is those who are in this list and those would read the 
advert to find innovative ways of each talking to rural folks from wherever they 
come from into understang first risk and two enterpreneurialism.  Our main goal 
is to ensure countrywide distribuition.

It is hopeless to expect Government to conduct the awareness exercise at this 
late hour.  Government indeed went around the country to train and explaing the 
concept.  As I said before some folks did not find it attractive.

On the Opetator DV, the regulator as a member of the taskforce wrote to them.  
CCK has the figures and the abilty to audit what has been done.

Finaly we all have the responsibility to educate our people on such matters "ask 
not what the country has done to you but what you have done to your country".  I 
think this was what Kennedy roughly said.
