[kictanet] Have we failed the nation yet again?

[Amos Ochieng]

The discourse is always the same emergency after emergency. Methinks this
is the industry that should put a lot of focus on the role of ICTs in
disaster management/emergency preparedness going forward. Robert I agree
with you, a number of those cool kids are wasting time on apps that are not
useful and cannot be monetized. I can rant on and on but this is not the
time for that.

*My heartfelt condolences to all those who have lost loved ones*
