Dear Prof. Michieka, Attached is a summary of the comments emphasizing sustainable development priciples (ecological sustainability etc) as submitted to the Ministry of Information and Communication in relation to the Draft ICT Policy. It is part of the research we had earlier discussed. Your feedback and support for the principles advanced will be of value to the process. As per the mail below, the Ministry of Info. & Comm. will have a preparatory workshop at the Kenya School of Law on April 21 and 22 in preparation for the final meeting in Mombasa on May 8-11, 2005. Attendees will be mainly Ministries and parastatals. I would suggest that NEMA arrange to make its input to the Draft ICT Policy.
