Hi All, I would like to share with you a short true story. This past weekend i happened to be on holiday with a sitting MP and we were discussing the ipod and how its revolutionized the way we sort, save and listen to music. I asked him jokingly how many MP's do you think own an ipod and he said certainly not more than five, reason being only five computers are ever switched on a daily basis at the Continental Hse where MP's have their offices. He even told me about some MP's that struggle sending and receiving text. i don't know whether to believe it but what do you guys think? cheers. Kanja --- Mr President <njenga_mp@myway.com> wrote:
Hi All First of all my apologies to you all, as am unsure wether this debate is over, but my reson for wanting to input my ideas is because i agree with ceryain sentiments. The chai concept, is polite and a means to an end, it was utilised by Njoki Ndungu and, i agree that to have a workshop, seminar for MPs would be ideal. Guys get real, HOW do we talk about E-govt and members of parliament are ICT illiterate ?? How do we drive demand, with the puiblic when those who represent them need mail and not E-mails ?? I consistently say, that we sahould borrow a leaf from Rwanda, The Head of state, conducts Govt online, bunge there uses electronic voting, the state is divided into four regions and all Hqs are served via a WAN. What is the state of our E-govt and the use of the same? Tho Mps may not be ICT lerned, then they should get assistants/ interns- tho not Lewinsky- to assist them in ResearchBills before the houseNational and constituency issuesICT and its benefits We agreed to lead by example, let us invite the Waheshimiwas and enlighten them and better still form and ICT lobby forum for use now and later, Example ? the media and ICT bills these would be the same MPs we would invite for informal then formal talks and for those who understand Govt like in the US we as KICTANET should learn to lobby, to me that is being Pro active as opposed to being Re active Have a thoughtful and blessed week end Njenga M.Pthose who fear to fail.will never try to succeded,for to fail to plan is to plan to FAIL
