<div class="">Good morning Kanini,<br class="">

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
culminated in the elections amendment act.<br class="">
<br class="">
</div>
I would also like to take this opportunity to applaud senator
Halake for engaging stakeholders electronically through the
KICTAnet mailing list, i think the senate can take advantage
of mailing lists and Social Media to engage the public
provided the engagement is well structured and based on a
public participation framework.<br class="">

how we can foster engagements between the ICT

very easily be adopted into a Public Participation

public participation, talk about killing two birds
