[kictanet] President Kenyatta secures Microsoft support for computers

Wed Jun 5 10:19:16 EAT 2013

John,

I will try and collect all the issues discussed on the list, probably Bobby

to the concerned ministries after the stakeholders forum. Can we set up a
registration system as suggested by Bobby.

Best Regards
