Dr Ndemo I chaired the telecommunications subcommittee when preparing the current ICT policy in 2005 in kilifi ( not kilifi draft) and it was very contentious because of the fight to retain the trappings of monopoly for the incumbent. Eventually ,the ICT policy document was a comprise based on lowest common indicators to accommodate all and built on history . certainly this is not the foundation for inspiration today . the time for a new policy is now and your effort and passion is highly welcome . That policy was the first to engage a multi-stakeholder approach and the experience base is just overwhelming now and efficient to handle the new policy.

We have four other policy documents that I want to use the forum as a test bed before we organize any public forum. We also have a revised ICT Policy that may radically change the status quo. The growing interest in ITES may force to develop a number of policy papers that encourage growth. Remember that I have commited to a 10 percent ICT sector contribution to GDP by 2012. Ndemo.

I have tried to have the forum discuss the important policy on cyber security but only one person made some comments. It is unfortunate that we focus on issues that fall within the purview of auditors. Regards Ndemo.
I think we are getting a bit lost on this debate on Malili. As far as management goes, there are the strategic issues, the tactical issues and the procedural issues. If we look out for every little matter of procedure that is being done, then we lose the big picture. This forum would do well to discuss the strategic issues that the Government gets into, and sometimes the tactical ones. otherwise we will soon be wanting to find out what was the gauge of the wire that was used to fence, and how many metres apart the poles were. It would be good to have a rough idea of the kind of infrastructure the government intends to put up there. Some investors would actually want this info so that they can be planning on how to take advantage of the opportunities that will arise.
Quoting bitange@jambo.co.ke:
Mr. Kwach, The Government has no problem with its neighbours in Malili. Indeed every local person supports this National project. It is not for Wakambas only. However, the peasants who owned the land where the park is to be built have a problem with the directors on the sharing of the money. They have taken the matter to court. You recall we discussed this matter and had it settled at a town hall meeting. I shall be wasting public resources if I kept on responding to issues that have been dealt with.
On fencing. At the height of Government land grabbing and encroachment. There was a policy to fence Government land. It will not take too long before you see squarters on Malili if we do not manage it well. Those who will invade may not be aware of GPS or any technology. Fencing or no fencing, I am between two rocks. Any decision can be criticised. We have chosen to fence. As always I take full responsibility.
Knowing this country the way I understand it, I shall be proven right.
Ndemo.
