[kictanet] President Kenyatta secures Microsoft support for computers

[Bitange Ndemo]

Barrack,
I am getting confused.  What are we going to discuss at Strathmore?  You
recall the listers had requested that we get someone from Education to
respond to issues around the lap top to schools policy pronouncement.  I
am disappointed that only a few of us that are raising substantive issues
that can help the Ministry with the policy implementation.

We need to exhaustably discuss the issues on-line and in Strathmore
meeting we make recommendations to the Ministry of Education and get to
hear their stand there.  We shall waste the opportunity if we go there
grumbling.

Ndemo.
