[kictanet] Public Consultation on National Broadband Strategy for Kenya

Wed Mar 13 14:47:09 EAT 2019

Agreed Ali,

Makes me wonder, what is the status of the public participation bill 2018?
I can't find it on any of the bill trackers now.
I thought KICTANet had an initiative on that?
I'm happy to help if needed, I believe listers should rally behind some
effort on this.

Best,

Robert.
