[kictanet] Fwd: ICT Board Strategy a Farce

[Gilda Odera]

Hi Brian,

Yes, Wambui seems to be a rather angry person with the Board at all times:)
On the same note, frankly speaking, I got no formal communication from the ICT Board and Harry's attempt to get me to Naivasha failed due to the short two day notice, I had earlier commitments. Nonetheless if it came out clear what the strategy meeting was about or that I was being called for the meeting in my capacity as BPO Chair, naturally I would have asked someone from our board to attend.I hope you do appreciate that the ICT Board has several such meetings and it normally needs to be clear which sector group is needed in the meeting. I do hope all is going well there though. Harry did his bit.
I believe there was a communication gap but that is something for me to discuss with the Board and not through KICTANET.   


Kind regards,

Gilda Odera

  Very strong language - but I think you should relax as your concerns are unfounded.

  I am at the Strategic retreat. Unfortunately Gilda Odera - Chairperson of BPO, who was supposed to be present had to cancel at the last minute.

 I have read with surprise the Kictanet mailout from the ICT Board claiming they are going for a stakeholders strategy workshop in Naivasha.Who are these stakeholders? Are there any representing the BPO sector?? I ask this because I have contacted the industry association and they dont seem to be in the know either. This is quite bizarre, especially since BPO is a key sector of the ICT Board's mandate.Who are the stakeholders from the other ICT sectors? Shouldnt the Board be getting input from key stakeholders at this workshop.They are wasting government resources going to write strategies and then 'presenting' to stakeholders, yet stakeholders should have been involved from the word go.The current management of the ICT Board performance is well under par. Recently I called up theiroffices wanting to engage with the management on a number of issues. Alas! I was informed that they were all on leave at the same time!The ICT Board cant seem to function properly due to sheer incompetence.Dr Ndemo I want a response from you since the buck stops with you!Wakarema
