>From submissions so far;<br>
<br>
1. There is a draft Master plan with a summary in circulation.<br>
<br>
2. There is a general feeling that ICT projects are being implemented<br>
in a disjointed manner.<br>
<br>
3. The Ministry of Info&Comm. under Dr. Ndemo's leadership, has made<br>
commendable progress in the ICT arena.<br>
<br>
4. Alot of work remains to be done, including the finalisation of a<br>
comprehensive Master Plan through a consultative process and honest<br>
positions by all stakeholders.<br>
<br>
5. The failure of Parliament to pass ICT-related Bills should be a<br>
concern for all stakeholders (esp. the Media who had complaints about<br>
the cross-ownership clause) and not an opportunity to shoot the<br>
messenger.<br>
<br>
6. We have come a long way from the days of fighting (with<br>
policymakers/govt) for an National ICT Policy and must now shift gears<br>
to a complemetary approach. That is the respectful way to go about<br>
this debate as alluded to by Lucy.<br>
<br>
7. Now, could the Ministry/PS kindly circulate electronic versions of<br>
draft documents for a more informed discussion on this list? That<br>
should put some flesh on this skeleton we have so far overworked.<br>
<br>
<br>
Good day,<br>
Wainaina<br>
