[kictanet] A wake-up Call - Clay Muganda's Article

Listers

 

Clay Muganda's article in today's Daily Nation has taken me back to a
discussion we had on this list regarding Vision 2030. What he brings sounds
like great opportunities for innovation. He says in part and I quote. "I
have looked high and low for any material in local dialects about Vision
2030. I have never found any, and until now I highly doubt even if there is
an official or recognisable phrase or word for it in Kiswahili, the national
language. Is it not ironic that at a time when we have made several advances
in communication technology and at a time when we have an initiative whose
bedrock is information and communication technology, we do not have enough
information about the same initiative, much worse in local languages?
