Yes, Kenya is special and Kenya is all we have! The power of communication technologies can build or destroy. It is therefore our responsibility to use communication technologies responsibly for the sake of mother country, especially at this time of dire need for peace and reconciliation. We must use communication technologies to sell Kenya to Kenyans! Kenya is what many African countries wish they had! And it is a beacon of hope for Africa. It should thus be our own beacon of pride!! We should guard peace jealously. As we wait for our leaders to dialogue and hopefully expedite a solution to our predicament, we 'ourselves' must also engage in dialogue with our families, Neighbors, workmates and the person in the street. We must not underestimate our own potential in calming each other down in this regard. These are my personal views Kind Regards, Eunice Mueni Kariuki -----Original Message----- From: kictanet-bounces+eunicekariuki=ict.go.ke@lists.kictanet.or.ke [mailto:kictanet-bounces+eunicekariuki=ict.go.ke@lists.kictanet.or.ke] On Behalf Of alice Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2008 11:32 AM To: eunicekariuki@ict.go.ke Cc: KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions Subject: [kictanet] [Fwd: Re: [civilsociety] Using ICTs to advocate for peace (SAMBAZA AMANI).] -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [civilsociety] Using ICTs to advocate for peace (SAMBAZA AMANI).

Dear All, Thank you for your efforts to pray for peaceful resolution of the ongoing political conflict. Yes indeed, the biggest problem is with our politcal leaders.They do not seem to care about the escalating tention, deaths, hundreds of reported rape cases, burning homes, thousands hospitalised injurred and or displaced,etc. The church is divided and has become partisan. The more we continue to argue, the more lose of innocent lives are getting lost, etc. Can we all stand for peace, pray for our leaders as we pray for an urgent peaceful resolution. Happy, peaceful and prosperous New year 2008!! Malaba S. David Rev. --- alice <alice@apc.org> wrote:

Get Your Title Deeds Online.... Kenyans have finally reached the end of testing the same camouflaged solution for 45 years expecting a different result. Its now sinking that Kenya's land will not increase with time and neither will the population proportionately decrease over the same period and thus mathematically can be deduced that the inverse of land held at ceteris paribus over the compounded population of that land will always lead to chaos infinity. ICT provides new opportunities where the virtual land does indeed increase to accommodate any new user/website and is not controlled by the title deeds held or how many websites reside in a particular domain/server. What ought done is open up this new world order to Kenyans and seize the opportunity by getting ICT at the mashinani. Only MPs who understand that land is so...'last century' in this 21st Century can seriously crusade for ICT in our parliament. The only way to isolate non believers is by ensuring the election issues in 2012 will not zero around the same fears used to intimidate the electorate for the last 45 years.
