Thanks for this topic,

The Internet offers a very good opportunity for open governance in terms of information flow to the Citizens. This means that the County governments can endeavor to ensure that there is transparency and that every detail of developement is made available to the citizens as it happens.

It also acts as a good resource for crowd sourcing where all the County Govts have a central portal/database where all updates and information is accumulated as well as  distributed, this will increase accountability and as such they can be rated based on real time analysis available through ICT systems deployed.

Warmest Regards,

Listers,

As we prepare for the Kenya Internet Governance Forum to be held at Strathmore Business School on July 26th 2013, we would like to jumpstart the discussions through our mailing lists. Today we discuss the role of the Internet in our new devolved governance system:, the questions are as follows:
1. How can the Internet be used to facilitate Citizen participation in the county governments?
2. How can the Internet be used to facilitate service Delivery in the County Governments?
3. How can the Internet be used to promote good governance in the counties?
4. What opportunities does the Internet offer the counties from an economic perspective?
The floor is open...
