Walubengo, The issue here is not simple. Civil society is known to be part of the problem in development. Take the slum areas for example, you cannot move anything before civil society is on your case. Some are protective of the status quo in order to get more funds. Do not get me wrong on this because I know some fine civil society organizations committed to see development. Ndemo.

Anyway, here's an advanced list of what is in the pipeline for the months of June and July. 1. eTransaction Bill - what are the contents and expectations? 2. Internet Governance Forum- why should it matter? 3. ICT Indicators - the Kenyan Perspective. Hpe u are now fore-warned and hopefully will be more prepared. Some of you claim that the current topic 'Role of Public, Private Sector and Civil Soceity in ICT4D' was 'ambushed' on them and so they have minimal contributions. walu. _______________________________________________ kictanet mailing list kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet This message was sent to: bitange@jambo.co.ke Unsubscribe or change your options at http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/bitange%40jambo.co.ke ---------------------------------------------- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by Jambo MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. --------------------------------------------- "easy access to the world"
