Dear Mr. Kibati, Thank you for giving us this opportunity. I note that under the pillars, you have identified *IT enabled services *(under the economic pillar) and *Science, Technology and Innovation + Human Resource Development *(under the Enablers and Macros). My belief is that the three are related especially considering the critical role that our training institutions will play in developing the human resource and much of the STI. But a casual look at the flagship project show no project targeted at our institutions of research and higher learning. How do we hope to grow these institutions and their role considering our main national resource has been touted to be our "excellent' human resource?

Many thanks Grace,
I agree with Harry and other listers on the grounds we have covered through the ICT sector, my question to Mugo is what is his Secretariat doing about inculcating national values which to me are the real base for the success of vision 2030? and which are this national values, i will cite a non-ICT example in which we tried out the national dress and it flopped whereas teams like Gor Mahia and FC leopards are able to implement such projects using their uniforms with ease, where did we go wrong from a national perspective? I ask this because our Ps, Bitange Ndemo has moaned over our peculiar habits which stem from a poor value system for a while on this list and i am sure this is a great impediment to the success of vision 2030, thank you for putting up the wonderfull billboards bwana Kibati but i am sorry to say that the common man may not be connecting with the message being spelt out currently, look at the way Infrastructure crumbled under the recent heavy rains, gaping holes on all our main roads yet we are reknown for feasibility studies and due diligence before awarding contractors jobs, i could continue ranting but i would like to start with the basics.
Thank you
Listers,
This is an opportunity to highlight on what the Vision 2030 has so far achieved... in the Medium Term Plan (2008-2012) and how much is remaining to be achieved.
Regards,
Solomon

Dear Listers - Ladies and gentlemen,
Good morning, and herein lies an opportunity to take part in shaping what should be a very important vision for
this nation. I personally trust that opinion and important suggestions here are of huge value, and that it is not late
for the Vision 2030 Team to incorporate some in their blue print, and also that this blue print has inbuilt flexibility
to make adjustments as much as it is desirable as we move forward to implement.
Dear Mr. Mugo Kibati,
Welcome on board, and as a vision for this country, we congratulate the team for being bold. I believe the forum here
will focus heavily on the ICT Sub-sector. But, just as the Vision 2030 correctly correlates interdependence between different
projects on the map, we will not hesitate to point out that ICT needs
rest as enablers, just as the rest needs it.
My first question is, what are the clear bench marks to achieve the stated vision for the country, looking at the project
pillars listed? How do we measure and audit achievements to date to ascertain whether this ship is on course..?
We have been on the website checking out the Key pillars and the enablers;
I note that, under the Macro Enablers section, the project in which we have had keen interest falls under the heading
" < http://www.vision2030.go.ke/index.php/projects/details/Macro_enablers/2> Energy Generation of 2300MW and distributed at competitive prices"
While the endeavor towards generation of enough power, for adequate, quality, reliable and affordable energy is
laudable and ongoing, we urgently need to address the question of "distribution" of the same to go lock-in-step
with these valiant efforts.
I believe Energy distribution should be listed as a "Macro-Enabler",
this way we can now address the question
of the monopolized aspect of it that currently is almost crippling and reducing the project to naught, at the expense
of progress in other project areas. No doubt ICT sub-sector will be a huge victim.
Left unchecked, a monopolized energy distribution network on which everything else hinges as we go forward, could
as well be equated to a "national security disaster-in-awaiting". Can

national distributor. At the very best, it might remain a cog in the wheel of this Vision2030.
I would wish to draw the team Vision2030 to the tremendous success that we've all witnessed in the Telecommunication
subsector, since liberalization was introduced from around 2002/3 and competitiveness brought about the huge
