Thanks Bill,<br><br>I found websites for hon. Julia Ojiambo, hon. William Ruto, hon. Kalonzo Musyoka, hon. Raila Odinga, hon. Najib Balala, hon. Uhuru Kenyatta but did not succeed for hon. Musalia Mudavadi, hon. Joseph Nyaga, and Nazlin Umar. I deliberataly avoided looking for hon. Mutahi Kagwe's website.
<br><br>Noticeably, Uhuru Kenyatta is ".ke" and registered his domain in May 2005. The others have dot coms and dot net. The oldest was created in June and two were registered two days apart in September last year.

<br><br>For those doing work/research..Why don't you check...<br>- is ICT community possibly alienating itself from the rest??<br>-what were these chaps avoiding by evading the dabate??<br>-and other questions...<br>

Then you will realise that these chaps are much cleverer than we think...<br><br>Bill<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: kictanet-bounces+research=<a href="mailto:mediacorp.co.ke@kictanet.or.ke" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

<br>Subject: Re: [kictanet] Holding our Leaders Accountable<br><br>Many thanks for the comments that have come through the list . it shows the<br>dynamism of the ICT fraternity .<br><br>The absence of the presidential aspirants talks loudly that either they are
<br>not familiar with issues , or if they are familiar they do not them consider<br>significant at national level or they do not care. Either way we in the<br>ICT world are proactive people and instead of castigating them let us roll
<br>our sleeves and work with them and make sure they understand the issues,<br>the significance and why they matter.<br><br>This is an on-going programme and as indicated in the debate and we shall<br>have another session in July and hopefully the political scenario on the
<br>presidential aspirants will be clearer . For now, to determine who to<br>invite was based on government of national unity versus the opposition as<br>broadly perceived in the national political arena. After the party elections
<br>we shall have clarity on who to invite in the next round .<br><br>The overall objective of the project is to ensure that we place the ICT<br>agenda as campaign issue and we need to show the presidential aspirants<br>
that ICT is an national issue<br><br><br><br>Muriuki Mureithi<br>Team leader<br>ICT mainstreaming in the Political Arena project<br>KICTANET<br><br><br>--<br>--<br>With Kind Regards,<br>Bildad Kagai<br>MD - MediaCorp Limited
