Hi Walu and all
ICTs can not be discussed in isolation
Wish to share this from a global Internet Governance List
"Wikipedia: I know everything!
Google: I have everything!
Facebook: I know everybody
Internet: Without me you all nothing.
Electricity: Keep talking @£*&*& ;-)"
Difficult to discuss ICTs without taking into consideration electricity,
and other basic's and generally human development, livelihood issues, etc
As for the Bashir discussion, I agree with Makali, that "It is
unfortunate that the government should be speaking out of turn with our
new Supreme Law and the reality of the new Kenya" and our new
constitution. What will happen with ICT related provisions like Freedom
of Information?
Best
Alice
