[kictanet] Board cancels tender awarded to Olive Technologies to supply Standard One

[Solomon Mbũrũ Kamau]

Nice initiative, but involving the c(evil) society 'experts' like
Okiya and Boniface, we may never go far.

Sound advocacy backed by strong evidence based approaches, can go a
long way in enhancing the laptop project become more viable and
related to the emerging issues.

Jubilee is no longer campaigning, yes. Therefore, we need to advocate,
through Dr. Matiang'i, who I believe is onlist, to seek ways in which
the laptop project is going to have ripple effects in the primary
school. Maybe by having the threshold raised from just standard one
pupils, to extend to say, standard five.

Healthy debate, will enhance the value of the project to allow for a
wider participation.

Thanks
