Distinguished listers, I have read through the comments and still feel it is not yet time to celebrate, what we have simply done in the year 2009 is to build buses (Policies, Infrastructure , Strategies) however Kenyans are still walking on foot and hurting their toes as a result since they havent seen the difference this buses will make in their lives. Many gains have been made but they still don't resonate with the common man for instance *why are accidents still maiming Kenyans whereas we can use ICT's to curb them significantly through* CCTV's and other technologies (refer to Kwa Zulu Natal SA), *why is the corruption index still high whereas we can use ICT's to significantly reduce* *corruption*, *why is access to treatment a challenge whereas telemedicine is a reality,* *why is education expensive whereas e-learning is a reality* we continue to witness Petty fights among stakeholders whereas there are *REAL* issues that must be addressed we need to shun this culture and cooperate if we are to achieve more, if ICT cannot contribute to Socio-economic liberation, *then it is not worth it,* for those who were hitting hard continue with the same spirit mediocrity should not be tolerated, for the Peacemakers, be blessed in the year 2010 and continue with that spirit. -- Barrack O.
