_______________________________________________From Walu on our town hall last week:IN SUMMARY
https://mobile.nation.co.ke/blogs/1949942-5354120-7bdgkj/index.html
- So last week, Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTAnet) hosted what is possibly the first town hall meeting with Members of Parliament – specifically the Parliamentary Committee on ICT.
- More often than not, MPs meet citizens in only two settings – during election campaigns and during formal stakeholder engagement sessions at Parliament buildings.
- Participants from media, academia, civil society, private sector, youth, etc. asked questions and shared ICT experiences and subsequently got honest feedback from MPs.
- It was evident that this sort of meetings with parliamentary committees in charge of various sectors should be encouraged and regularised.
Best regards
