The list is producing good citizen feedback. There should be a way to feed the input into government.

Any technocrats in the list? Probably Prof. Wainaina, the DG of Vision 2030, whose KPIs are directly correlated to the performance of state projects should borrow from the list, even if he's a silent listener.
