Talk to the Senate- 2017/2022 Priorities
by Grace Githaiga 12 Feb '18

12 Feb '18

Dear Listers Greetings! Kindly allow me to t briefly interrupt you from the turning off of TV signals debate, to make a short announcement. As you are aware, the role of the Senate is to represent the counties, serve, and protect the interests of the counties and their governments. The Senate Committee is currently developing its agenda and is keen on interacting with various players in the ICT community. Of interest to the Committee, is what needs to be done or prioritised in relation to ICT and the counties. This can range from issues of infrastructure, problem with implementation of legislation, acts that need revision, resources etc. In light of this, KICTANet recently called on the the Senate Committee on ICT leadership. To this end, we are honoured to have Sen. Abshiro Halake, the vice-chair of the Committee on the list. Therefore, we propose to hold a structured discussion over three(3) days on this list, starting on (Monday February 5th to Wednesday February 7th February 2018- next week). The aim will be to propose priorities that the ICT Senate Committee should include in their agenda to spur economic and social growth. Mercy Mutemi will moderate the discussion. The questions for discussionwill fall under the following broad thematic areas: a) What are the key ICT issues(challenges and opportunities) in the Counties that require the attention of the Senate? b) What are the ICT issues that need legislative intervention by the Senate Committee (E.g. proposals for a new law or a law that needs amendment)? c) What can the SenateCommittee do to strengthen its engagement with the ICT community on ICT law and policy? A report will be prepared from the suggestions given here on the list and shared with the Senate ICT Committee. We will also agree with Senator Abshiro on a future date for a face to face meeting. KICTANet has been at theforefront in pushing for effective public participation in policy making. Now that we have the opportunity to speak to legislators, we must heed the call and participate! Asanteni sana. And looking forward to a stimulating discussion as has been demonstrated on the list recently. Best regards Githaiga, Grace Co-Convenor Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet) Twitter:@ggithaiga Tel: 254722701495 Skype: gracegithaiga Alternate email: ggithaiga(a)hotmail.com Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gracegithaiga www.kictanet.or.ke "Change only happens when ordinary people get involved, get engaged and come together to demand it.
