Lister's,
Kenya is lauded as being a leader in Internet infrastructure in the region. Provision of infrastructure is acknowledged as a driving factor towards achievement of Vision 2030. In deed in this years budget speech, Government made proposals to allocate money to expand the same. migration to digital television as well as a law aimed at curbing communication cables vandalism were also discussed. Nevertheless questions still remain because infrastructure remains concentrated in major cities and important centres and facilities in rural areas do not have sufficient access to the Internet. a) Are Government's efforts in the right direction towards providing infrastructure that will get us closer to universal access? b) With Kenya's new governance structure, how can Government facilitate efficiency at counties through ICT/Internet? c) Are private citizens/ civil society playing their role in increasing access?
