Good morning Listers, 


Welcome to Day 1 of 'Talk to the Senate'. This must have been what the framers of the Constitution had in mind when they entrenched public participation as a key constitutional principle- an opportunity for us to make a case on what we think ought to be the Senate's priority 2017-2022. I therefore encourage that we all participate in this session and look forward to an animated discussion. 

As Grace had briefed us on Friday, we will have a three day discussion focusing on the counties and opportunities for intervention by the Senate. 


This being the first day, our goal is to bring out issues of concern in the counties as far as ICT is concerned. Once we have these, we will proceed to make proposals on how the Senate may be of help in resolving these issues on Day 2. On Day 3, we will discuss how to foster engagements between the ICT community and the legislature. 


This is our guiding question for today–


What do you consider to be the ICT 
      (a) challenges; 
      (b) risks; and 
      (c) opportunities in the counties?

As well, if there are ICT success stories coming out of the counties, feel free to highlight them. 


We are honoured to have Senator Abshiro Halake (Vice Chairperson, Senate ICT Committee) on the list. Senator, karibu sana. 


This discussion is now open!
