[kictanet] ICT POLICY REVEW DAY 8 of 10

[Barrack Otieno]

Hello Wangari,

Interesting perspective, however let us keep the discussion under the
respective thread so that we can keep the flow. Meanwhile i also
invite you to edit the policy on the Jadili platform. Remember if it
is not written it does not exist. This is our chance.

Regards
