Hi Alex, Actually, we are not venting but trying to be responsible for the changes we want. Despite all our efforts including the Government's in getting ICT related legislation in place, and none of that happening basically means that change of strategy is required. The MediaCorp Board of Directors will be sponsoring my candidature for the Westlands Parliamentary Seat on a KANU platform in 2012. The work nevertheless begins immediately to ensure that MPs who are coming for the 10th August House understand that we are just too behind in IT technology and its a shame to be talking legislation and optic fiber when in Asia, a fridge will send you an email alerting you milk is over and order for the same online. As part of being responsible for the changes we require, we need to identify ICT friendly MPs and make them see the seriousness of ICT...for the buck seems to stop in the honourable August House. See attached.... Good Day.. Bill On 9/19/07, Alex Gakuru <alex.gakuru@yahoo.com> wrote:

Dear Mr. (Hon-2012) Kagai ;-) This is really encouraging to hear - and a breath of fresh air - a sound for sore ears - and a sight for tired eyes. We need more, young, inspired technocrats to grab the bull by the horns and jump into the political arena. Alas, cowards such as myself can only shout from the sidelines ..... but not to worry nitakupigia debe when the time comes! Regards, Mblayo On Sep 19, 2007, at 9:44 AM, Bill Kagai wrote:

'Vijana na Mtandao' seems to be the new wave...having discovered that parliament can stifle growth of ICT and eventually our businesses....then let us all go for it. The onus now is how to get the wave from the mailing lists and newspapers to malls, homes and schools out there. Tingisa Kidole Ya Jogoo!!! Bill On 9/21/07, Brian Longwe <brian@isisweb.nl> wrote:

Pundits are wondering what Bill's presidency will really look. Has the future finally dawned ushering the nations aspirations? With every child acquiring the OLPC promised on his manifesto? Cheap $50/MB internet through fibre, entire .ke network on IPv6? Affordable computers in every district , hospital, even "munada". Cabinet minutes delivered by email to consumers' via kPODs, all-new "brownberries" and open source installed mobile devices with local skunk works tweaking GSM till no networks failures? Will President Bill K deliver on the promise of digitising "in toto" the kenya village to his voters whom he bought several rounds of Ruaraka's sweet waters to kick high their imagination levels? But they also wonder whether 2016 will not see a repeat ritual of new promises-- only that time it may as well be on an envisaged "Sun Base" (contrived variant "NASA Presents Details of Plans for Moon Base <http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/21/science/ 21nasa.html?_r=1&ref=us&oref=slogin>) Indeed, how true the words of one famous lister "Tomorrow Now" But President Bill, (allow me to refer to you by first name because I started this?) I need your favour but for security reasons it should not be communicated in electronic form. When could I meet you kind Excellency, Price of Peace, the greater liberator to paperless office? ooops! Did I say that? On 9/21/07, Bill Kagai <mediacorp.research@mediacorp.co.ke> wrote:

Alex, I have prepared a paper that proves the following maxims; 1. A computer loaded with open source can generate more money than an acre of coffee in Nyeri. 2. A computer loaded with open source and connected to Telkom wireless can generate more money than an acre of tea in Kericho. 3. A computer loaded with open source and connected to Telkom wireless plus a Safaricom M-Pesa sim card can generate more money than four acres of wheat in Narok. Otherwise, steadfastly continue with no fear or favour.... tingisaing the kidole ya jogoo. Bill On 9/21/07, Alex Gakuru <alexgakuru.lists@gmail.com> wrote:
