This pretty much sums up the state of the nation ( or is it
the state of the union of counties...?) Indeed it's just
but a tip of the iceberg as matters stand currently;
where vested interests take pre-eminence almost
over
everything else in this land. But again it is tough to
stand in the way of an an idea whose time has come
(read,
"The New order")
I strongly suggest that all and sundry wake up under the dawn
of a new dispensation, that dispenses with the
old order of impunity, vested interests, cronysm,ethnism,
politism,nepotism and gerrymandering, etcetra and
stand to be counted as statesmen and women willing to place
the country above self.
Standoffs and tussles being played out in the open,
especially at the heart of such a crucial
regulatory body
sends out very ominous signals for this
sector, and it's the last thing we need now. The sooner the 2 warring
camps get down to iron out their
differences, the better for
everyone.
We are not ready to be dragged 10 steps backward,
when we make 5 forward. Maybe we should we be
re-looking
at the Independent Communications
Commission of Kenya Bill draft, to ensure we eliminate gaps that could
get
us
subjected to such shenanigans in future. Indeed this should
also apply to other sectors.
Thank you, ladies and
gentlemen.

Once again let me say that It is very unfortunate that
a technical community such as KICTAnet continue to
be subjected to a debate that has nothing to do with the subject
institution or its integrity. The main players understand the game very
well. The debaters don't ! Under the present coalition government and going by
the old constitution (...and mentality) it would be unfortunate for a board
chair to go a full term without exerting "the necessary" power, influence, and
changes that are ethno-political and p-party compliant. These factors will
determine future favours for such people. This is the bitter bill that
Kenyans have to swallow...atleast for the short term period preceding the full
implementation of the new constitution and a new government is put in
place.
While it would be naive of anyone to deny these facts it is comforting to
note that such days, times and eras will soon be behind us and I would
like to advise our senior politicians and others who have lived in this kind
of environment for the better part of their lives and who may find it
difficult to change to start preparing themselves for the back seat.
Kenya is on the move and come September 2012 new drivers will be issued
with clean licenses to drive this country forward.
As a peace maker I may have no solution to the current problem but I think
the power of dialogue supersedes everything else. Have a peaceful day.
