[kictanet] [Skunkworks] harmonization policy for government ICT projects?

[wesley kiriinya]

Very important point you've raised Saidi!
 
Gosh I hope they have those guidelines otherwise they are very likely going to face some serious nightmares after spending millions/billions of shillings.
 
What you've raised is very important but unfortunately it seems nothing will be done about it. Actually the country can become crippled,.just like what seems to be happening at the port with Kwatos, then it will cost the economy a couple of more billions!
 
o_O?

The Ministry of Lands is going hi-tech
(http://www.nationmedia.com/dailynation/nmgcontententry.asp?category_id=1&newsid=127900),
so is/was the Immigration Ministry, the Ports Authority with its
failed/failing KWATOS system, the KRA... etc.

Is there a gov't policy to guide Ministries or gov't agencies on
implementation of such complex systems? A set of
guidelines/best-practices? Minimum standards on care and retention of
Kenyans' personal information?

Most of those systems have a basic set of identical data (Kenyans'
personal information: name, ID, etc): any guidelines on how the
systems should inter-operate? In case of conflicting personal data,
which of these systems is "official"?

Apologies if this was discussed/settled earlier.

Saidi
