[kictanet] For quality laws, MPs should consult stakeholders

[Keith Andere]

Dear GG,

Thank you for sharing the link as well as organising the town hall meeting.
The interactions were great and no doubt such environments will see

@J Walubengo <jwalu at yahoo.com> You articulated the discussion so well.
Asante.
