Not to be ignorant of the Senate’s mandate, we will dedicate sometime to distinguish what is within the purview of the Senate therefore feasible. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Once again thank you and ‘see’ you tomorrow! </div><div dir="auto"> </div><div class="gmail_quote"><div>On Mon, 5 Feb 2018 at 21:49, Victor Kapiyo via kictanet <<a href="mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke">kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">I think another challenge is information dissemination.

entrenched public participation as a key constitutional principle- an opportunity for us to make a case on what we think ought to be the Senate's priority 2017-2022. I therefore encourage that we all participate in this session and look forward to an animated
discussion. </span><u></u><u></u></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-stretch:normal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#454545">This being the first day, our goal is to bring out issues of concern in the counties as far as ICT is concerned. Once we
have these, we will proceed to make proposals on how the Senate may be of help in resolving these issues on Day 2. On Day 3, we will discuss how to foster engagements between the ICT community and the legislature. </span><u></u><u></u></p>
