            There is need for a proper framework that defines meaningful
            public participation which should be adhered to by the
            National and County government. KICTAnet developed a tool
            kit that should be considered by the Senate. At the very
            minimum the Senate should be providing feedback whenever it
            calls the public as it did last year during the elections
            amendment debate, honestly the wahehimiwas earn sitting
            allowances while the public spends their precious time to
            contribute to their work yet no feedback is provided. We
            need urgent feedback on the ICT policy, we also need
            feedback on the public participation exercise that

          of mailing lists and Social Media to engage the public
