<div dir="ltr">Thanks for this. I have a question for you:-</div>
<div dir="ltr">Do you think two working days and a weekend is enough to comment and engage on such an important piece of legislation? </div>
<div dir="ltr">Please dissuade me from thinking that this is just a way of ticking a certain box called 'Public Participation'.</div>
<div dir="ltr">Let me elaborate. When the Ministry of ICT wanted public engagement on the ICT Policy 2016 they engaged us and gave us ample time to discuss and give input. </div>
<div dir="ltr">Can the IEBC look at increasing this time? I'm aware that the elections are around the corner but surely let's do this right..</div>
