, goes to proof that we can all get down to the practical rather
waiting for things to fall in place and be perfect before we
engage.<br>
<br>
When KICTANet started in 2003, we got together to speed up ICT
policy process, to contribute to access related among others. We
have made great great strides and gains since then on all fronts.
Can 2012 be the year where we get down to the business of being
practical? can we now shift gears from discussing lack of services (
I am guilty.... electricity, poor state of our roads) to rolling our
sleeves and finding practical solutions? P.S Ndemo's invitation
below to "come up with mobile applications and also leverage on the
digital villages and unlock the
Kenyan potential in agriculture" is timely and hope many listers
will attend the meeting and also provide opportunities for more of
this level of engagement.<br>
<br>
We can shift our attitudes<span style="font-size: 11pt;
font-family: 'AGaramondPro';">, enhance our capacity to innovate
(in the private and in the public sector) and increase our
ability to adopt and
adapt ICTs to local conditions to increase our productivity,
efficiency etc, which a precondition
for growth and </span>what 2030 vision aims to achieve.<br>
<br>
Wishing all a very innovative and productive 2012.<br>

<pre wrap="">Harry,
I request you to view the film clip in the link below on Ethiopia
Commodity Exchange. This will simplfy our vision especially in
improvement of the efficiencies in our agricultural sector.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://blog.ted.com/2008/08/12/archive_eleni_g/">http://blog.ted.com/2008/08/12/archive_eleni_g/</a>
Coservative estimates put our agicultural waste at about $5 billion. The
lady you see in the film could have chosen any of the variables below:
Complain from the diaspora that their government is oppressive; that
Ethiopians at home do not know anything; that there is corruption in
Ethiopia; that the government is doing nothing to alleviate poverty and so
on.
She chose to roll her sleeves and show her people what needs to be done.
With a few developers, I have asked that we come up with the application
on the mobile and also leverage on the digital villages and unlock the
Kenyan potential in agriculture. If you are interested, please register
with <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:mchege66@gmail.com">mchege66@gmail.com</a>. We do not need to be in government or senior
positions in private sector to change this country for ever. We shall
have the first meeting towards the end of January. That is how you can
understand what Mugo wants to achieve.
Regards
Ndemo.

Many thanks, David... and what a resource...!,
Ladies and gentlemen, for those who have a keen interest in matters
pertaining energy, here is a huge resource we can interrogate.
Especially, where it has a direct bearing as a driver for ICT growth and
by extension to the Vision 2030.
I will revert on key elements, but I noted this part:-
4.3 Future Economic Outlook: The Vision 2030
Until 2007, the Economic Recovery Strategy for wealth and employment
creation (ERS) established the foundation upon which to build a prosperous
Kenya and a robust economic growth. Following ERS, the Government launched
the Vision 2030 for outlining the broader macro-economic objectives and
strategy of the country up to the year 2030. The Vision 2030 was further
elaborated in the Medium Term Plan 2008-2012 (MTP) which aims at
consolidating the gains of the ERS. This is based on the implementation of
a low and stable inflation and interest rates, sustainable public debt,
competitive environment and refurbishing of infrastructures. The Vision
2030 describes the way Kenya will be transformed from a low income
agrarian economy into a newly industrialized middle income country,
providing a high quality of life to all its citizens. This goal is based
on three pillars, namely political stability, social development and
economic growth. The economic objectives supporting the Vision 2030
require an annual GDP growth of at a least 10%, to be reached by the year
2015. For achieving this target six key sectors of production have been
identified: tourism, agriculture, manufacturing, wholesale and retail
trade, business processes out outsourcing (BPO) and financial services.
The Vision 2030 identifies energy and electricity as a key element of
Kenya’s sustained economic growth and transformation.
>From the statement of intent above we can interrogate 3 Key things in
relation with Vision2030:-
· The economic objectives supporting the Vision 2030 require an
annual GDP growth of at a least 10%, to be reached by the year 2015.-
Clearly, gains made are being speedily reversed in this area, looking at
the current inflation and interest rates that have shot up. Again the
Medium Term Plan, highlights these 2 as key areas, including improving the
business environment, and infrastructure refurbishment..
· Based on their analysis, the demand in the Energy sector
especially Electricity seems to draw a parallel to the shifting shadows in
GDP. Is this the only variable…? What about the pricing model, that
might also be driving away demand in form of investors choosing to invest
elsewhere ..?
· We stepping into an election year, the cycle we’ve witnessed
in the past dictates a meltdown in gains made run-up to the election year,
then we again start from scratch. How do we make a clean break with the
past, consolidate gains especially for the MTP, and ensure we remain on
track, come elections or not..?
I believe Mr. Mugo, you can address this…?

Sorry Harry,
Have been able to obtain the2nd draft but it is the 3rd draft National
Energy Policy document that will be availed for public comments/feedback
from 3rd to 11th February 2011. The venue of its first release (3rd
February) is the School of Monetary Studies.
As consolation attached please find the Least Cost Power Development Plan
2011-2031. Comments are welcome to feed into the next LCPDP
2013-2033 that will be out early next year. However, this is for
electricity sub sector only.
