It has been said many times that Kenyan politicians need to move beyond petty politics and embrace issues.
So when the so called ODM big wigs were invited to the ICT debate, it was expected that they would for once give a blue print of an ICT enabled country.
Most of those politicians will also be on the frontline of telling you how
It was therefore expected that these politicians, who are gunning for Kibaki’s job will do better by demonstrating how
That the politicians confirmed to participate but withdrew last minute is indicative that they either do not understand the role of ICT in developing the country or they do not care about addressing issues.
Am told that for the politicians, they are only interested in the ignorant voter and not the professionals, who are accused of shouting from roof tops yet do not turn out to vote.

On a different note, somebody commented on radio how we are always quick to criticize the police yet we do not take time to commend them when they do something nice. They stand in traffic whole day at times rained on yet expected to perform like those in
So, if the comment is to tell me how Kenya is a pathetic country, don’t comment here, am sure there are other blogs that will entertain that, this is only for those who appreciate the small steps the country is taking towards development and change.

Most of these ICT people are profoundly out of touch with the on-the-ground-reality in Kenya. More so than their critics.
I think your are out of touch with the reality if not that you a mere chauvinist.
That people are guning for Kibaki's job? Who said that the presidency of this country is Kibaki's job, the job fall vacant by the end of this year and anyone can go for it provided that he or she qualifies (legally).
You call you blog a home for freedom of expression then tell people with certain views not to comment!!!! I think you are lossing it!!!!
Look hard at the candidates backgrounds you the people of Kenya are the employers in the case of choosing who will govern your country.
Leave no stone unturned.
Seek leadership excellence.
My vote is with Joe Nyagah having done just this.
Kenya needs *NO* "leadership excllence. As long as wananchi run blindly after such empty phrases like lemmings over a cliff, Kenya will suffer.
What she needs is excellence in service. SERVICE. That unknown word in Kenyanese.
