[kictanet] Ministry seeks more seats at KENIC

[Grace Githaiga]

Dear Sammy and AllJust like Michuki and McTim, here is another point of clarification. The Kenya ICT Action network (KICTANet) was set up as a project of the Association for Progressive Communications (APC) as part of a broader initiative called Catalyzing Access to ICTs in Africa (CATIA). It was set up  by TESPOK (Joseph Mucheru), APC (Alice Munyua as convener), KENET (Victo Kyalo), Summit Strategies (Muruiki Mureithi) and AfRISPA/KIXP (Brian Longwe) during a workshop  held in Nairobi in 2004 (I shared the documents on this list sometime this year). It was set up as  a "multi-stakeholder platform for people and institutions interested and involved in ICT policy and regulation" with the aim of   catalyzing reforms in the ICT sector in support of the government's aim of ICT enabled growth and development.  KICTANet was invited to serve on the KeNIC board on that basis.  KICTANet is FORUM and the fact that this debate on KENIC is taking place here is testimony that as KICTANet we are living our mandate.  For more information please visit www.kictanet.or.ke.
And now after this commercial break, I would like to hear KENIC's response on who really is a stakeholder (in reference to Dr. Ndemo's question, as well as Kivuva's). If I own a .ke (as a company or an individual) I am I not a stakeholder? Kind regardsGrace Githaiga
