We are making headway! The case for better coordinated implementation strikes me as strong.

I propose that in addition to making the masterplan readily available, PS Ndemo, seize the moment n lead a stakeholder review and finalization of the national masterplan.

Given the experience of finalizing the National ICT policy in 2005 & the e-Gov Strategy in 2004 we, the ICT stakeholders, are clearly equal to the task.

To provide focus, I further propose that the said masterplan review be guided by and aligned to the recently launched 1st Mid Term Plan of Vision 2030, to enable it support our overarching Vision 2030 dream

Certainly there is no shortage of human capital with requisite experience and expertise in delivering on similar assignments for Kenya and other countries.

Let's harness it!

>From submissions so far;

1. There is a draft Master plan with a summary in circulation.

2. There is a general feeling that ICT projects are being implemented
in a disjointed manner.

3. The Ministry of Info&Comm. under Dr. Ndemo's leadership, has made
commendable progress in the ICT arena.

4. Alot of work remains to be done, including the finalisation of a
comprehensive Master Plan through a consultative process and honest
positions by all stakeholders.

5. The failure of Parliament to pass ICT-related Bills should be a
concern for all stakeholders (esp. the Media who had complaints about
the cross-ownership clause) and not an opportunity to shoot the
messenger.

6. We have come a long way from the days of fighting (with
policymakers/govt) for an National ICT Policy and must now shift gears
to a complemetary approach. That is the respectful way to go about
this debate as alluded to by Lucy.

7. Now, could the Ministry/PS kindly circulate electronic versions of
draft documents for a more informed discussion on this list? That
should put some flesh on this skeleton we have so far overworked.


Good day,
Wainaina
