[governance] Kenya: ICT policy, visa and Nairobi weather

[Adam Peake]

Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTAnet), <http://www.kictanet.or.ke/> "a 
multi-stakeholder platform for people and institutions interested and 
involved in ICT policy and regulation..."  Very interesting, an 
influential bunch of people.  Mailing list discussions are archived 
on the website and a good source of information about what's 
happening here, what people are thinking/doing.

I've just arrived in Nairobi:  Visa on arrival (if your country's 
listed 
<http://igf.or.ke/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=52&Itemid=72>) 
is simple.  Costs US$50 (also seem to take Euro, cost is 40, and UK 
pounds, cost 30, but dollars a more useful currency to have.)

I got a visa application form here 
<http://www.kenyarep-jp.com/visa/form/visa.pdf>, paper might also be 
available on your flight. Saves a bit of time to complete before 
standing in line.  And there is a second yellow or blue form you will 
need to complete, those seem not available online (get from the 
airline or at immigration.)

Any doubts, trust Grace (earlier email about visa assistance) not me. 
A bit of luck and you'll be through immigration before your bags get 
to the belt.

It's quite chilly, 20-21 degrees Celsius today.  I don't know the 
long term forecast, but anyone planning to come, think mid 20s, 
cooler in the evening.

Adam
