Kennedy School of Government. My heartfelt thanks to KICTANet and KIF, in
particular, for helping me get this far. I am grateful. Shukrani. Here is the
footnote I included in the dissertation to thankall of you. Please let me know
if you name is not in here,and you want it in or if you see misspellings or if
you want to see the current Kenya chapter. Please email me OFFLINE, (so as not
to spam the list) at <A href="mailto:warigia@gmail.com">warigia@gmail.com</A>.
The dissertation will be submitted for binding by May 15th, so email me
quickly. Next step, publication . . . <BR><BR>Would like to treat all of you

qualitative semi-structured interviews conducted from 2004-2006 in Kenya.
Additional interviews were conducted in Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda. I also
conducted participant observation, and sat in on dozens of meetings of the
organizations KIF and KICTAnet as well as several national and transnational
conferences on ICT. I conducted interviews in Kenya with former members of
parliament, high ranking government officials, academics, private sector
participants, and civil society advocates.<SPAN> </SPAN>I take
