Thank you Barrack for sharing, and Walubengo for "bursting" the government. Maybe we should try speculate why the government does not want to engage.This is my thesis, I might be wrong. Let me take you back to WCIT12 in Dubai, where the government and other stakeholders could not disagree on a common ground. Ali has always made sure he twists the knife when it comes to ITRs :). There was also the issue of .africa where the GAC representative was in the board of one faction, and the other stakeholders were representing a different faction. In an ensuing AU meeting Kenya was among the handful of countries that did not support South Africa's bid. After this "skirmishes", engagement with government has been very difficult. My worry is "bad blood" is affecting the way we engage, because we are basically engaging among ourselves without any significant input from business and government. Can we learn from this? How best do we remedy the situation? I beg we call for a truce in Gotham city. PS: If CAK constitutes government, we had quality representation through Vincent. If the legislature is still an arm of government, we had great representation form Hon. Rege On 22/07/2014, Barrack Otieno via kictanet <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
