FYI- The Kenya Association of Manufacturers has been helping some counties to try this (via a website etc) but there's need to boost these efforts:

BestI 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.Good morning Kanini,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.

Dear Listers,
Welome to the third and final day of the Talk to the Senate series. We have discussed at length the challenges facing the counties and made exciting proposals for a brighter future. We will culminate this discussion with an earnest look at how we can foster engagements between the ICT community and the legislature (think, effective public participation). The proposals we come up with could very easily be adopted into a Public Participation Bill that would dictate how counties are to conduct public participation, talk about killing two birds with one stone.
Please indulge me in answering the following questions–
(a) What constitutes effective public participation?
(b) How can we leverage on ICT to achieve effective public participation?
(c) Please give proposals on engagements you would like to see between the ICT community and the Senate ICT Committee.
Let us finish strong!
