If there was a real intention to share the document, it would have been
available to listers and the wider public by now. For unknown reasons this
invitation looks more of off-ward PR than a genuine call for stakeholder
participation. You can clearly infer this by trying to access the document
in question from ICTA site
http://www.icta.go.ke/invitation-for-stakeholders-to-input-into-the-draft-cyber-security-strategy-2014/.
You will be tossed back and forth through inactive links until you doze
off. What ceremony does it take an organization that is supposed to be
setting the pace in ICT to upload a few pages document?
