Greetings.

I take this opportunity to share a KICTANet report on10 years of ICT policy discourse in Kenya (2007 – 2016).

The commencement of this project was premised on the need to identify the different conversations that had taken place on the KICTANet platform since 2007.The object was to find out what issues had been discussed, which stakeholders had been active, and what sort of policy impact the debates had created.

Notably, over 30,000 exchanges had happened during the period under review, with 27,000 being on ICT policy.Bitange for President was one of the top threads, followed byTV Signals turned off and Vision 2030 and Misplaced Priorities coming third.

Kudos to the following:

• Grace Mutungu (Bomu) for overseeing the project and writing the report.

• Rosemary Koech-Kimwatu was the lead researcher. She was assisted by a team comprising Francis Monyango, Joyce Mutheu, Njoki Mwangi, Umuhany Zuhudi and Dennis Karanja. This team pored the over 30K conversations and categorized them into internet governance baskets. And

• Washington Odhiambo for curating the list and for the data analysis.
