I beg to be in their their shoes for a while. Who can join me is saying that they probably dont even know what is going on in the ICT industry in Kenya, the developments etc - let alone tell us what they will do about ICT. All the stuff about fiber optics, marine FOC, CDMA etc etc has been in the media but.... can they relate/have they understood and of course they give it little consideration ?????? They may have wanted a group as LK put it 'to shout' and not a serious group of citizens. Could this be an indication that there is so much to be taken seriously by any aspiring leader? - Just a thought! LETS HOLD THEM RESPONSIBLE!! Evelyn Subject: Re: [kictanet] Holding our Leaders Accountable LK, u sound a bit disappointed. Unfortunately i didnt attend the function and would like to know who really turned up from the presidential aspirants and what they said... Michuki, any hope for the text transcript? Or Becky could give us a brief the old way in form of minutes/updates/etc? Then from there the absentees like me could contribute more intelligently on the way forward... walu. --- Lucy Kimani <lkimani@comnews.co.ke> wrote:
All,
I am just venting on the dismal performance of our aspiring presidential candidates, I have noticed a trend where those in leadershipship positions let alone those aspiring for the same confirm their attendance to a certain function and then not show up or best case scenario show up 2-3 hours late. I keep asking myself why do we as Kenyans accept this behavior, and I am at a loss!
Actually, my pesa nane is that we as the citizens need to start demanding accountability in that when one says they will attend a function then they should keep to their word, after all why are electing people whose word doesnt count for much? Additionally, most of us also have busy work lives and the fact that we were willing to stop what we were doing to sit down to hear what these aspiring candidates have to say about ICT is a testament to how important we feel ICT to be to the country.
I am one for making strong statements, and a one page ad expressing our displeasure and questioning why the candidates are scared of facing a serious group of citizens wanting to know where each of them stands in ICT would be in order! I am sure if it was one of those meetings where fans are shouting at the top of their voices, and no one is asking any serious questions they probably would show up, we need to start demanding more from our politicians!
Just my thoughts!
LK
