Dear James KICTANet provided a five week opportunity for all stakeholders including those on this list to send comments/proposals. Some civil society groups and others send in their proposals and our work was to collate the comments we received. kind regards alice ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Nguo" <james@alin.or.ke> To: "'Kenya ICT Policy - kictanet'" <kictanet@kictanet.or.ke> Cc: "Alex_BaoCom_email" <alex@baobab.co.ke> Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2005 4:16 PM Subject: RE: [Kictanet] Fw: Draft ICT Policy - Wonderful job done
Dear ALL, As we shower Alice with congratulatory messages, I have an issue under the environment section that states; ___________ Limits should be placed on importing refurbished computers. Appropriate recycling facilities should be established for disposing of used computers which may contain toxic substances such as mercury. ___________
I think we should be able to define what we mean by refurbished instead of a blanked limit. Refurbs have been used for very noble tasks and good examples can be seen in the work of Computer for Schools Kenya, ALIN through Baobab Communications among others. I hope this was not 'sneaked' for individuals interest. The national interests should come first BUT I agree standards for refurbs should be set. I believe most refurbs are better than some of the clones in the market. I hope this can be corrected.
Best regards
James Nguo ALIN/BaoCom

Dear Alice, I should say that you did a fabulous job. I am hoping that Librarians, having looked through this document will make meaningful comments.
