<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you GG for setting the scene and Dr. Ndemo for your
candid responses, indeed iron sharpens iron and that should be our goal going
forwad, as requested by Walu, we will have a structured discussion over the
five day period under five broad thematic areas:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>As GG mentioned this is not an interrogation but a preview
into the vision that the Permanent Secretary has for the sector, we do hope
that as stakeholders we will be able to identify areas that need attention and
how we can collectively contribute towards addressing the respective issues,
listers feel free toadd any other areas that we may have overlooked.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I think Dakitari you are reading the minds of most of us.<br>
Accelerating development can take place when there is a concerted<br>
effort from all quarters.<br>
My wish, since you've touched on various line minsitries, wouldn't it<br>
be possible, if it materialize, to have other PSs also join in this<br>
debate?<br>
Why?<br>
Without Treasury PS, the money you've mentioned might not be<br>
forthcoming; without Agriculture and Special Programmes PSs, how will<br>
the provision of food reach the masses? And Education PS would come in<br>
handy because we are talking about mass education campaign, which can<br>
be facilitated by this important Ministry.<br>
Further tha National Social and Economic Council and Vision 2030<br>
secretariats, in my 2 cents, would provide some integration that we<br>
can use (in this campaign), to speed development in Kenya. For<br>
instance, through the Medium Term Plan (2008-2012) of Vision 2030,<br>
could it be possible to know how much has been achieved, what's<br>
stalled and what is on course ( well apart from the expansion of Thika<br>
Road)?<br>
<br>
The reason as to why I've pointed this is because in this era of<br>
'coalitions' wouldn't such partnership be adapted to make things move<br>
faster? I pray to see Konza City developed while I'm alive (there are<br>
people we support in micro-enterprise skills inside the proposed Konza<br>
ICT village and I think they see optimism with the program/idea in<br>
their neighbourhood)!<br>
<br>
My thoughts.<o:p></o:p></p>
