ChessMaster, we are talking about powers behind history here.

The world is now connected, and governments and politicians are embracing this connection and what comes with it.

Didn't you see our very own president giving his blessings?

These are exciting times for government. It is a period of restructuring.

For example, the more people are connected the more they move into barter trade. Now add other forms of trade like cultural exchanges that have multiple levels of valuation, and you'll see that monetary policy is diminishing in importance.

How will activities on cyberspace be taxed? There's no other way than to make development proposals to the citizens and asking them to provide the funding. Even fiscal policy must change.

There's no other way for government, it must be restructured.

@Josiah, perhaps we should begin by asking why we have a representative democracy.

And the answer is that we have not had the benefits conferred by ICT.

Each ministry can now communicate directly with the citizen and even have a discussion as we are having.

The government can now think and work with the citizen. They can create resources together.

Of course this implies a change in government's role. But then everything is changing for the better for everyone.

More communication between the government and the citizens is ideal but in a system where a few individuals thrive in the secrecy and ignorance of its citizens,this will have a lot of resistance. But they are attempts to open up government to the people,like this site: https://opendata.go.ke/

@harrydre - I like the idea behind the article.Many leaders forget democracy is supposed to unite us not to be used as a platform to separate the people.

Every force must meet 'resistance'. But let us put it into context. This is the evidence for motion.

Imagine a Grand Master playing against a student; won't he meet resistance?

Only the resultant matters.

Think about how Jubilee and Cord had to show how their manifestos had come from the 'grassroots'.

And notice how it was quickly interrogated! That is, which politician will want his manifesto thrown to the dust bin before he is even elected?

Therefore the politician has no alternative but hold perpetual conversation with the voter.

The Kenyan government is doing very well in this matter. It has shown a willingness to move along this historical force.

When it comes to openness and communication I believe the Kenyan goverment is doing a good job.
