[kictanet] Dy 2 of 10: How to Develop ICT Info-Structure

[Barrack Otieno]

Many thanks Walu,  Good morning

On this topic i would like to share  the following thoughts:

1) We need to enforce the airing of local content as way of promoting
the same. This has been a subject of debate recently in the media.

2) We need to promote a culture of documentation, i think we need to
strengthen Kenya News Agency in this regard.  I like what KNA and NTV
are doing airing archives

3) We need to strengthen  Synergies between all the actors in the
content industry, not sure if this role should be given to KFCB or
KNA.

Regards
