[kictanet] Kenya IGF Online discussions Day 5: Infrastructure

[Barrack Otieno]

Lister's,

Kenya is lauded as being a leader in Internet infrastructure in the region.
Provision of infrastructure is acknowledged as a driving factor towards
achievement of Vision 2030. In deed in this years budget speech, Government
made proposals to allocate money to expand the same. migration to digital
television as well as a law aimed at curbing communication cables vandalism
were also discussed.
Nevertheless questions still remain because infrastructure remains
concentrated in major cities and important centres and facilities in rural
areas do not have sufficient access to the Internet.
a)  Are Government's efforts in the right direction towards providing
infrastructure that will get us closer to universal access?
b) With Kenya's new governance structure, how can Government facilitate
efficiency at counties through ICT/Internet?
c) Are private citizens/ civil society playing their role in increasing
access?

The Floor is open, feel free to continue contributing to previous
discussions
