well, Kenya has for a long time, honestly, not really had much in the way of lieberalism...sociallism, thats a different story, but now that all these radical (radical to THEM) ideals have been sort of spoon fed to them, i think there will be some backlash from the senior party members and upper class (if there is such a thing, lol) in Kenya.  But it IS slowly evolving into sort of a fesible national policy

You have begun to ask the question that riddles the worldwide scope of Policy leaders for twelve years now. I cannot believe that anything should change directly affecting our personal use. There presently is monitoring systems located within each server that handles broadband traffic. There are new programs designed to establish a set of Super Nodes that create a sub field within the 'Internet' to handle traffic and material. This connection would run multiple times faster than even T3, and provide access to your home PC from your mobile PDA, laptop etc. This would be available with a secure 'network' one that could be highly monitored, but reach as wide of the horizon. A change like this needs to be developed before any true Policing of the Internet can be possible, I believe.

AGREE/DISAGREE\nCommunication had been there within a country and between countries and still developments have not been dramatic because many more things are needed too.Fast communication visual communication, oral communication and internet, TV, Radio etc etc have all been helpful to educate people and with so much of out sourcing two way communication needs more infrastructural developments.but it does not happen overnite.\nSame way any stock market crash, political uprisings elsewhere in the world has devastating effects on internal development of a country.\nWe can add on

Information technology (IT) or Information and communication(s) technology (ICT) (also Infocomm, esp. in Asia) is a broad subject concerned with technology and other aspects of managing and processing information, especially in large organizations.\n\nIn particular, IT deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and retrieve information. For that reason, computer professionals are often called IT specialists, and the division of a company or university that deals with software technology is often called the IT department. Other names for the latter are information services (IS) or management information services (MIS), managed service providers (MSP).

Memorandum on Economic and Financial Policies of the Federal\nGovernment of Nigeria for 1999\nI.  Introduction\n\n\n1.  Nigeria has enormous economic potential. It has a vibrant private sector, highly motivated entrepreneurs, vast and fertile agricultural land, and a large domestic market. It is the seventh-largest oil exporter in the world (2 million barrels per day) and is richly endowed with other natural resources as well.\n\n2.  Yet Nigeria's economic and social development remains far below even the minimum expectations of the population. Per capita income amounted to only US$240 in 1997, substantially below the level at the time of independence in real terms. Equally disturbing, the country's social indicators have slipped to well below the average for developing countries: half the population lives in absolute poverty, life expectancy is only 52 years, and the infant mortality rate is as high as 84 per 1,000 live births. Mismanagement of our resources, overregulation of our economy, and, until recently, price and exchange rate distortions, have been at the root of Nigeria's economic malaise.\n\n3.  In recent years, some progress was made in stabilizing the economy, introducing greater competition, and strengthening the financial system. Inflation was brought down from 77 per cent in 19941 to 10 percent in 1997 and the exchange rate has remained stable. Exchange controls on current international transactions have been almost fully eliminated, interest rates have been deregulated, and restrictions on competition and private sector participation have been removed in most sectors of the economy. A number of measures have also been taken to address financial sector distress, including raising the minimum paid-up capital requirement, liquidating insolvent banks, improving loan recovery, and imposing sanctions for financial malpractice.\n\n4.  However, the fiscal adjustment that helped achieve macroeconomic stability did not pay adequate attention to the quality of public spending. While very large sums were spent on priority projects of doubtful viability, basic infrastructure—roads, water supply, sewerage, and electricity—was allowed to deteriorate to its current state of severe disrepair. State and local governments, which are responsible for the bulk of social services, also bore a disproportionate burden of the adjustment in spending. Moreover, economic activity continued to be hampered by poor performance of the large public enterprise sector, which led, in particular, to severe shortages of power and fuel, as well as inadequate telecommunications services. In addition, poor governance and abuses in the management of public resources have been severe obstacles to realizing the potential of the private sector, which would allow Nigeria to reduce its present heavy dependence on petroleum for foreign exchange earnings, government revenues, and economic growth. \n\n5.  Moreover, our external debt remains large. Over the last several years, the government serviced only part of its external debt. Interest not paid and interest accruing on unpaid debt service became new debt. Thus, despite the imposition in 1994 of an embargo on contracting new debt—as well as the low level of disbursements from existing commitments and ongoing debt conversions and buybacks—the outstanding stock of external debt has failed to decline. At the end of 1998, the stock of debt disbursed and outstanding stood at an estimated US$28.8 billion, and of this, some US$17.7 billion represented arrears, almost entirely to Paris Club creditors. The latter included some US$1.3 billion overdue payments on loans contracted after October 1, 1985, the cutoff date to be eligible for rescheduling that was established in the first of Nigeria's three past Paris Club reschedulings.\n\n6.  The sharp decline in world oil prices in 1998—and the ensuing one-third fall in oil receipts (US$5 billion)—has aggravated Nigeria's already difficult

I found these 2 articles that will hopefully help.  You should honestly check out www.allafrica.com they have a lot of Africa's papers conglomerated.\n\noff our backs, July-August 2005 v35 i7-8 p4(2) \nKenya: all-women village thrives. (news)(Brief Article) Priya Verma; Sara Schoenleber; Carol Anne Douglas; Rachel Pleatman; Jen Mainville; Annsley Chapman; Jennifer Chapin-Harris; Tess Mueting. \nFull Text: COPYRIGHT 2005 Off Our Backs, Inc. \n\nSeeking to escape domestic violence, rape, forced marriage, and other abuse, several dozen women have founded a matriarchal, women-only village that is drawing both economic prosperity, and hatred and jealousy of local men. \n\nThe village of Umoja, meaning "unity" in Swahili, was founded 10 years ago on an abandoned plot of land among dry grasslands. Their dung-and-mud huts are built in a circular pattern and house several dozen women in a thriving and happy village. The women have built a cultural center, a camping site for hikers destined for the nearby Samburu National Reserve, and a business making and selling traditional beadwork necklaces. \n\nIn response local men tried founding their own, men-only village and tourist center. The tourism plan flopped and the men have turned to spying on the women's village, filing a court case to try and shut down the village, and physically attacking the women. The village leader, Rebecca Lolosoli, has even received death threats after attending the recent United Nations world conference on gender. \n\n"We do not have peace in the village now. These men are so angry because we have money and we do not give them any," said Lolosoli. \n\n--info from Worldpulse Magazine 7/05, news.telegraph 8/1/05 \n\nnews compiled by Priya Verma, Sara Schoenleber, Carol Anne Douglas, Rachel Pleatman, Jen Mainville, Annsley Chapman, Jennifer Chapin-Harris and Tess Mueting \n\nAfrica News Service, March 24, 2005 pNA \nSpeed Up Empowerment of Women, Kenya Urged. \nFull Text: COPYRIGHT 2005 Africa News Service.

The AU recognises that there can be no meaningful development without women's participation," she said. \n\nKenya has not ratified the AU Protocol to the African Charter on Human and People's Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa that was adopted in 2003. \n\nThis protocol is a regional supplement the UN Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women. \n\nIn her opinion, as long as Kenya remains reluctant to streamline policies and laws that promote gender equality it will be difficult to catch up with developments in Uganda and Tanzania. \n\n"How can we enter regional integration when our laws, policies and political systems are not harmonised?" she posed. \n\nCopyright The East African Standard.
