Others are: the last mile electricity project (Sh1.5 billion), emergency road repairs (Sh8.7 billion), Equalization Fund (Sh3.8 billion) and Sh600 million allocation for Parliament's new office block.

Equally concerned, I echo your sentiments.

 ICT is no longer a luxury as all basic needs are somehow tied to it, so much for the big 4 agenda.

Dear Listers, 

Here is an excerpt from the President’s Memorandum which is up for consideration before the National Assembly tomorrow. He proposes taxation of telephone and internet data services. Safaricom, Airtel, Telkom etc do you have a projection of what this could mean for your consumers? 

Now I am only but a simple lawyer, but I would think that this will enlarge the chasm between the haves and have nots in an already inequitable country. I wonder what this will mean for data costs, internet access and penetration levels, innovation, employment (esp for the youth) and generally keeping up with the new age. It was laughable when this was happening in Uganda, little did we know we were up next.
