If it came earlier, we would have intervened as a Committee. view

The core function of this Ministry is ICT Services. So, it is important that when they are doing austerity measures, they ring-fence ICT Services of the Ministry of ICT because their business is ICT. Secondly, I want to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee because we requested it to support our community radio and television stations, especially during this ... view

But they did not submit and we only received a submission from the Outdoor Advertising Association of Kenya. view
