Kenya Internet Governance Forum Online Discussions Day one: Internet and the Counties
Listers, As we prepare for the Kenya Internet Governance Forum to be held at Strathmore Business School on July 26th 2013, we would like to jumpstart the discussions through our mailing lists. Today we discuss the role of the Internet in our new devolved governance system:, the questions are as follows: 1. How can the Internet be used to facilitate Citizen participation in the county governments? 2. How can the Internet be used to facilitate service Delivery in the County Governments? 3. How can the Internet be used to promote good governance in the counties? 4. What opportunities does the Internet offer the counties from an economic perspective? The floor is open... -- Barrack O.

Thank you Barrack for kickstarting the debate, and to all listers who were eagerly waiting for these online debates. It is important to note the role of the Internet as an engine of change and development, and as an inexpensive means for citizen participation in national building and providing much needed feedback and criticism to their respective governments, and for accessing government services at any place, any time of the day (ubiquity). As I see it, a lot of tools and new media, and infrastructure have to be employed to enable citizen participation in the county level especially in Kenya.
