[kictanet] For quality laws, MPs should consult stakeholders

[Grace Githaiga]

>From Walu on our town hall last week:




IN SUMMARY



	* So last week, Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTAnet) hosted what is
possibly the first town hall meeting with Members of Parliament –
specifically the Parliamentary Committee on ICT.
	* More often than not, MPs meet citizens in only two settings –
during election campaigns and during formal stakeholder engagement
sessions at Parliament buildings.
	* Participants from media, academia, civil society, private sector,
youth, etc. asked questions and shared ICT experiences and
subsequently got honest feedback from MPs.
	* It was evident that this sort of meetings with parliamentary
committees in charge of various sectors should be encouraged and
regularised.
