I am going to focus on one aspect - leadership and change.

You have raised quite good points about Kenya and the way leaders use money; and its quite sad about the behavior of our politicians, these are the kind of people one could be somehow related to; but they would not be ashamed to get sexual favors from their own nieces and relatives in order to "help them" - and that is sadly some of the rotten apples we have in the cart.

We are still at baby steps in terms of spreading the Information Age in kenya, through company CSR projects  eg the millennium & digital villages - through which we hope that one day people will be well informed.

I remember a time we were summoned to a PS office, and met a very angry MP, saying that we were 'probably paid by opposition' to defame him - cos we had published some data on a website on CDF use, which the rural people were using and objecting to some of the projects quoted there in.
In truth we were just publishing data given by international organization, not fabricating it - but severals members of parliament did not want the accountability to be public - thus ordered the website shutdown. That was then, now CDF use is well published in www.cdf.go.ke

I am glad from watching the recent by-elections, kenyans are now almost informed, and do not vote on partisanship and sycophancy, but rather on the person they feel can help them - and this also happened in the rural areas.

We still have a long way to go - but I foresee an election soon enough where the country shall be voting with enough background information to qualify or disqualify the candidate based on easily accessible communication to the "grass-root" levels..

This is because, more and more the young people in highschools, colleges in towns or rural areas are beginning to see 'social network' access eg facebook as a way to keep in touch, and i believe this is where interest in the internet use is generated and eventually well utilized.
