<div><div dir="ltr">IMHO, the best solution to this is:<br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>1.  For KICTANet to work with other civil society groups to create the expectation that the National Assembly will have a deliberative process around the approval of cabinet secretaries.  This will give time for people to evaluate the candidate and respond to the nomination.

<div>2. A committee of people from this group should be formed.  This should happen now.</div><div>3. For cabinet positions were ICT is a major component of the job responsibility, the committee should evaluate the candidate and make a public determination of support, neutrality, or disapproval.</div>


<div><br></div><div>That&#39;s my two cents at least, but I&#39;m an outsider here and don&#39;t have any of the contacts or status to move something like this forward.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">
