[kictanet] Bitange for President? Further Extension!

[Grace Githaiga]

Listers
 
Again, there are requests to allow 'Candidate" Ndemo to continue engaging with listers. We have consulted and considering that some concerns raised are important, we are now extending it to August 31, 2011. Please raise your concerns within this extension period. 
 
And now to "Candidate Ndemo". Could you kindly respond the following issues raised by listers?
 
 
Murigi had raised the concern of how the billions returned annually to the Treasury could be utilized to provide social goods and services,  and would be possible to set aside 1.5 % of the budget for ICTs?

Harry Delano to comment on how ICTs be utilized to help confront tribal and racial profiling. 
 
George Nyabuga requested for an update on digital migration process. His questions were: 
1. What is the progress on the migration from analogue to digital? Will the country meet the deadline for the migration?
2. Has the government released enough funding for the process? How much is required, and what has the government released?
3. What is the state of digital media uptake in Kenya at the moment?
4. What is the position of KBC as far as digitization is concerned?
5. Will the public service obligation of KBC change?
6. What ‘public service’ obligation will commercial media have any under
the digital regime?
 
 
And finally in response to Yawe’s concerns on the Somali community, could you kindly go ahead and elaborate on the economic implications of the issue?
 
Kind Regards
GG

> Examine Robert's logic through his metaphor of how long a cow takes to die out of hunger. If he meant that we should have seen it coming then he is a master of contradiction.

> What is happening around Lake Victoria must be stopped. If indeed this were businessmen, then they need not spend money to silencing politicians. Infact some politicians speak like Robert. "Our people are lazy". This is a grave matter. We cannot fight poverty by telling our people to compete in a 200 meter race when the vistors are starting at 100 meter spot (Capital unlimited) and we cannot vouch on the sources of their immense financial strength.

> The impact of excess liquidity in the market affects everyone through inflation and inflated property prices as well as rent. You do not need an economist to tell you this.

> I do not blame Robert's puritanical reaction. This is typical of us when we fail to look at a global picture. If it wasn't the fact that the official "campaign" is over I would have spent more time on the economic implications of the issue at hand.
