ICT Peace Initiative
ICT Peace Initiative
I don't expect the international press to bend their backs to portray a positive message, after all bad news sells, and so the responsibility is on us as Kenyans to ensure that we show the healing and that the country is working past this. The social, political and economic message must be addressed from a positive angle, schools are reopening and students from all tribes will sit next to each other learning and sharing, this my friend is Kenya healing.
I appeal to all my Kenyan brothers and sisters especially those in the ICT industry to embrace a positive message and attitude, it's the first step in moving past our mistakes.

On monday I had the opportunity to be part of a discussion that was convened by ICT leaders, in attendance were 4 key players in the ICT industry. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss how the ICt community can use their infrastructure to push out a positive message about Kenya at a time when all the messages being broadcasted are negative. Don't get me wrong there are a lot of negative things that have happened over the course of 2 weeks but on theother end a lot of positive actions and steps are being taken to counter the negative. The amount of goodwill being shown by Kenyans of all origins has been amazing, the peace and healing initiatives being spearheaded by individuals and organisations are going a long way towards heling the country move in the right direction. Unfortunately none of this is being communicated by the main stream media, the foreign media being the main culprits, in fact one major british media house keeps on showing the same clip of chaos that occured over a week ago despite the fact that the violence has been subdued.
