[kictanet] Public Consultation on National Broadband Strategy for Kenya

[Ali Hussein]

Gimode

Greetings. Seeing that you posted this email on Friday, 8th March, I'm
curious to understand how the committee can expect to get substantive
responses within a week on such a critical piece of document?

I think it's time this country reviews what it means when the constitution
talks about Public Participation. I know that there are members of the
August House in this list. I challenge them to address this issue. I fear
that government officials are taking us through a 'tick the box' exercise
when it comes to public participation.
