Dear Listers

Greetings!

The Senate Standing ICT committee is inviting us a consultative meeting to deliberate on emerging legislative and policy gaps in the ICT sector that may require the intervention of the Committee, more so in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, 15 July, 2020 at 9:40 a.m. on the Zoom. A secure link will be shared with yours with those who are interested in participating.

In 2017, we engaged with the Senate ICT committee, and produced a report ‘Talk to the Senate’: Priorities 2017-2022 which can be found here: https://www.kictanet.or.ke/?mdocs-file=40221

The engagement focused on 4 broad areas namely:

1. ICT challenges, risks and opportunities in the counties

2. Opportunities for intervention by the Senate

3. Necessary legislative interventions

4. Effective public participation, and

5. Emerging issues.

You may want to see whether anything has changed in these thematic areas, in particular in light of Covid 19. Are there ways in which things can be done differently?

We request listers interested in participating in this meeting to kindly express their interest to Liz Orembo via lizorembo@kictanet.or.ke by Tuesday July 14, 2020 at 5 PM. A secure link will then be shared. For those who cannot make it but would still want to raise an issue, please do so here on this list and we will ensure it gets to the committee.

Asanteni sana.
