Zimbabwe Legalises ICT Censorship?
by Alex Gakuru 15 Jun '07

15 Jun '07

... Meanwhile, the lower house of Zimbabwes parliament passed a bill yesterday allowing the government to monitor phones, mail and the Internet to protect national security.

Re: [kictanet] FW: [www.eThinkTankTz.org] Tanzania Govt Budget Speech

Hi, Actually, the Kenyan minister's speech was on the treasury website www.treasury.go.ke within an hour of his delivering it. I think the problem is that the Kenya National Assembly's web site is poorly served. We have lots to learn from Tanzania's and Uganda's parliaments. Kenya's national assembly does not even have an up to date order paper on the web site, whereas you will get loads of information on Tanzania's bunge website, up to date info, bills going backing 10 years and more.

Sh1bn allocated to fibre optic cable project Story by JUSTUS ONDARI Publication Date: 6/15/2007 The Government yesterday showed its resolve to go ahead with its fibre optic project ahead of the regional initiative by factoring in Sh1 billion for The East Africa Marine System (TEAMS) project. The project could get Kenyans hooked onto the international fibre system mid next year. TEAMS is different from the first initiative, the Eastern Africa Submarine Cable Systems (EASSy) project that has been held up because of negotiations over its ownership and funding. >>>snip story continues @ http://www.nationmedia.com/dailynation/nmgcontententry.asp?category_id=1&ne… ____________________________________________________________________________________ Fussy?

Koch Fm needs a generator It is not every day that Kenyan journalists commit their money to the community but Nganga Mbugua had a noble idea- to contribute towards Koch Fms acquisition of a generator. Mbugua, a journalist with the Nation wanted had learnt that Koch Fm was fundraising to buy a generator and wanted to contribute to the cause. So he sent sms to all his friends. He asked for whatever they had, shs 100, 500, 1,000 or 10,000. Now, Koch Fm has a generator but has no money to install it. They got estimate costs of about shs 120,000. KICTANet members have been invited to pledge their contribution towards this worthy cause. Whether monetary or in kind, all are welcome to contribute. We are drawing a list of those interested in contributing. Andrew Limo was the first to pledge. Please add your name to this list.

Radio Simba to train Koch Fm presenters

15 Jun '07

Simba Fm to train presenters at Koch Fm When Carol Wanjiru agreed to make a presentation at KICTANets monthly forum, she did not expect the response to be that overwhelming. I knew good things would come, but this is more than good. Thank you KICTANet! she said. Apart from having an operational website, Radio Simba invited Koch Fm presenters for a hands-on training at their offices in Lavington. Nicola Munene, from Radio Simba, confirmed that the station would be delighted to expose the volunteers at Koch Fm to the rigors of a commercial radio station and how they make presentation beneficial to the community. We will arrange when they can come over to our offices. I think it will be mutually beneficial, said Munene. Koch Fm is operated by youth at Korogocho slums on voluntary basis.

Kenic, Communicart, send smiles back to Korogocho slums
by Rebecca Wanjiku 15 Jun '07

15 Jun '07

KICTANet members make a difference at Koch FM When Carol Wanjiru and Hellen Wanjiku gave their presentation about Koch Fm, the challenges and successes, the crowd was delighted. It was a capacity crowd of Kictanet members who turned up probably to listen to the opportunities and challenges to development and maintenance of local content in local radio stations and websites. For a station that started as a pirate radio at the Korogocho slums in Nairobi, Koch Fm officially launches tomorrow (Saturday June 16th) The station broadcasts at 99.9 at a radius of 2km, incidentally, the same frequency is licensed to Ghetto Fm at Majengo slums. If they exceed the radius, then they interfere with each others frequencies. In this respect, Koch Fm would like to stream online so that even those living beyond Korogocho can listen to them. But they have no website. That was made history yesterday by KENIC and Communicart. KENIC will organise for them to get a domain while Communicart will develop their website and ensure its interactive. Because Koch Fm wants to encourage qualified youth to abandon crime and seek employment or entrepreneurship, the website will allow organizations and individuals to post employment and training opportunities which will be broadcast at the station.

citizens' rights to a nondiscriminatory Internet
by Alex Gakuru 14 Jun '07

14 Jun '07

Telco lobbyists thwarted as Net Neutrality resolution passes MAINE IS FIRST STATE IN NATION TO PASS NET NEUTRALITY RESOLVE [SOURCE: maineinternetfreedom.com press release] A diverse coalition of Mainers applauded the enactment today of the first net neutrality resolve in the nation. The resolution, LD 1675, recognizes the importance of full, fair and non-discriminatory access to the Internet and instructs the Public Advocate to study what can be done to protect the rights of Maine Internet users. "Maine is the first state in the nation to stand up for its citizens' rights to a nondiscriminatory Internet," said Senator Ethan Strimling, the original sponsor of LD 1675. "The rest of the nation should follow suit and study what can be done to protect net neutrality." Maine is once again leading the way in protecting the rights of its citizens, said Shenna Bellows, Executive Director of the Maine Civil Liberties Union. This resolution will help re-establish the Internet as the free and open arena of democracy it was always intended to be. Advocates say that restoring net neutrality is essential to protecting the right of Internet users to access the information they choose. "Net neutrality principles are key to keeping control of the Internet in the hands of the people," said Chellie Pingree. "With this resolution, the Legislature has put the needs of Mainers before the needs of the telecom companies." http://www.maineinternetfreedom.com/node/57 * Links to coverage at: \u003cbr\>\n\u003cbr\>\n----------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr\>\n WWWhatsup NYC\u003cbr\>\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://pinstand.com\" target\u003d\"_blank\" onclick\u003d\"return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)\"\>http://pinstand.com\u003c/a\> - \u003ca href\u003d\"http://punkcast.com\" target\u003d\"_blank\" onclick\u003d\"return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)\"\>http://punkcast.com\u003c/a\>\u003cbr\>\n---------------------------------------------------------- \u003cbr\>\n\u003cbr\>\n\u003c/p\>\n \u003c/div\> \n\n \n \u003cspan width\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"color:white\"\>__._,_.___\u003c/span\>\n \n \u003cdiv\>\n \u003cspan\>\n \u003ca href\u003d\"http://groups.yahoo.com/group/isoc-ny/message/1647;_ylc\u003dX3oDMTM0dTRoNj…" target\u003d\"_blank\" onclick\u003d\"return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)\"\>\n Messages in this topic \u003c/a\> (\u003cspan\>1\u003c/span\>)\n \u003c/span\>\n \u003ca href\u003d\"http://groups.yahoo.com/group/isoc-ny/post;_ylc\u003dX3oDMTJwMjNobG9iBF9TAz…" target\u003d\"_blank\" onclick\u003d\"return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)\"\>\n \u003cspan\>\n Reply \u003c/span\> (via web post)\n \u003c/a\> | \n \u003ca href\u003d\"http://groups.yahoo.com/group/isoc-ny/post;_ylc\u003dX3oDMTJla2tobmRzBF9TAz…" target\u003d\"_blank\" onclick\u003d\"return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)\"\>\n Start a new topic \u003c/a\>\n \u003c/div\> \n \n \n \u003cdiv\>\n \u003ca href\u003d\"http://groups.yahoo.com/group/isoc-ny/messages;_ylc\u003dX3oDMTJlOWU0Zjg3BF…" target\u003d\"_blank\" onclick\u003d\"return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)\"\>Messages",1] ); //-->http://www.mainewebreport.com/2007/06/12/telco-lobbyists-thwarted-as-net-ne… ---------------------------------------------------------- WWWhatsup NYC http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com ---------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- Take the Internet to Go: Yahoo!Go puts the Internet in your pocket: mail, news, photos & more.

REPORT on Completion of KICTANET Server.
by Odhiambo WASHINGTON 13 Jun '07

13 Jun '07

Hello Alice, I have finally completed (I did it a few days ago) the server installation and testing. And I have put it online at Wananchi's co-location house. I do know that you are still awaiting word from Joe about hosting of the server by Wananchi. Let's just say I have used my position to get the server co-located on the strength of the fact that Wananchi Online Ltd had offered to host KICTAnet's services for free, and I had volunteered to be the systems administrator for those. I hope Joe will be able to resolve any issues when they arise, but I am almost 99% sure Wananchi will not love the shame of bringing the server offline just because the management changed. The next step for me will be to setup the e-mail accounts for all KICTAnet members that you'd think of, starting with the initial five:-) Once the e-mail accounts are working, I will migrate the mailing lists the way we had discussed before - LISTNAME(a)kictanet.or.ke will work, and so is LISTNAME(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke - thus making the move transparent to list members. From that point, all that I will be left to do is the maintenance of the server. We do not have a maintenance contract, but I guess that can be handled later. I will simply continue performing my role to ensure the services continue running. Technically, the job is finished. What remains is showing the secretariat how they will interact with the server. This will then be followed by the website! Now about the website, I am already working with two groups of people whom I have informed that I MUST have a website up and running by end of this week. I am having a meeting with them tomorrow and will update you on the progress. At the moment, www.kictanet.or.ke shows "under konstruction" (sorry for that:-)) I do believe I will break the Jinx. PS: Evelyne, do you need anything else other than the above writeup as being the report? If I need to include some details I have missed, please let me know. You may not be knowing this, but the new management of Wananchi Online decided that I should be looking at other things, so they have laid me off through redundancy. I am having my exit interview with Mr. Richard Bell tomorrow morning. I will be able to know why he decided to take this step (although I feel I know why, but what I know might be different than what he had in mind). Everyone else has left. Why not me? :-) As such, my last official date of work was 7Th June 2007. This week is mainly for clearance with the company, and I believe I should be done by Friday, and gone.... I will still have considerable influence at Wananchi, especially with the technical staff, because there are alot of things they still need my help with, and that can only work by reciprocal arrangement. So you should rest easy I will be able to handle matters with them. Lastly, there is one request I need to make regarding the server: When it was bought, it came with a monitor as well, but the monitor is not at all required for the co-location of the server since the server can run without any peripherals. I wanted to request you to allow me keep the monitor. I only used it when I was doing the installation and testing. I took the server to the co-location facility and moved the monitor to my house, since I am already moving anything that "belonged to me" away from the Wananchi's office in preparation for the exit. If this request might complicate any matters, then I am just too glad to bring the monitor to KICTAnet's offices. Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON.

Holding our Leaders Accountable(delay in response)

Hi All First of all my apologies to you all, as am unsure wether this debate is over, but my reson for wanting to input my ideas is because i agree with ceryain sentiments. The chai concept, is polite and a means to an end, it was utilised by Njoki Ndungu and, i agree that to have a workshop, seminar for MPs would be ideal. Guys get real, HOW do we talk about E-govt and members of parliament are ICT illiterate ?? How do we drive demand, with the puiblic when those who represent them need mail and not E-mails ?? I consistently say, that we sahould borrow a leaf from Rwanda, The Head of state, conducts Govt online, bunge there uses electronic voting, the state is divided into four regions and all Hqs are served via a WAN. What is the state of our E-govt and the use of the same? Tho Mps may not be ICT lerned, then they should get assistants/ interns- tho not Lewinsky- to assist them in ResearchBills before the houseNational and constituency issuesICT and its benefits We agreed to lead by example, let us invite the Waheshimiwas and enlighten them and better still form and ICT lobby forum for use now and later, Example ? the media and ICT bills these would be the same MPs we would invite for informal then formal talks and for those who understand Govt like in the US we as KICTANET should learn to lobby, to me that is being Pro active as opposed to being Re active Have a thoughtful and blessed week end Njenga M.Pthose who fear to fail.will never try to succeded,for to fail to plan is to plan to FAIL _______________________________________________ No banners.
