That's true Robert. That needs to be solved. The other problem is
questions like yours getting hijacked by side-shows.

Hi Chairman,
I believe that the possibility of issues being regurgitated will
never end in so long as there is no central depository of the

Dear Colleagues - just to bring to your attention that the issue
of an ICT Authority is a repeat of of previous discussions on
this list. We could be going round in circles as evidenced by
this extract from 2 years ago:

I have been following the ongoing online melodrama debate
of the ICT Authority with keen interest.
Here are my thoughts..
It is important to note that the issue of centralised ICT
services provision to GOK has not been addressed or fully
understood as this has been handled from time to time on
project by project basis (e.g. the Metronet) or
subject (e.g. e-Gov)depending on the flavor of the month.
You see E-gov, GITS, GCCN, CCK, ICT Board, KCCT, KEPSA et
al, they are all behemoths, but we should look in totality
at GOK ICT Operation and Strategy Implementation within the
wider context of the GOK 'ICT Management Strategy'.
This would ensure that going forward and for ever that
interests are managed and people only lobby those they need
to.
Look at this Scenario
- u want to sell software/hardware to GOK ...,1. Visit CCK
for authority to sell... 2. Move to ICT board for strategy
and selling / budgets et al ... 3. Go to Govt GITS for
implementation. It is lenghty and chaotic... No wonder
nothing really gets done!!
The only way you will have a clear helicopter view of the
sector and be able to draw on synergies such as combined
trunks, data centres, fail over and disaster recovery
strategy, is to have an implementation company run and
manage vendors as well as shortlist/blacklist vendors for
all Governmet ICT services. And this is exactly what the
ICT Authority would be doing amongst others!

Walu,
Further to my mail this morning, i wish to add the
following. There is need for a body to manage and
coordinate the management and Maintainance ICT aspects of
govt (the non-exciting and zero-money stuff) as vendors
have interest in all the money minting aspects above
anything
else. Others are being driven by the potential of creating
monster projects that can be funded by the WorldBank as
well as other bilateral and multilateral partners.
Each player (GITS, Egov, ICT Board, CCK et al) seems to
have all components of a complete self contained ICT
business/market by themselves.
They can and do buy, fund, implement, and use ICT products
and services, so to them their systems and ICT use
encompasses all aspects from design, funding,
procurement,implementation, management and
Maintainance with the last 2 as most neglected.
The two most neglected items (ICT Management and
Maintenace) could be addressed if we could take the
approach where the Policy Maker becomes a
Rejigged CCK (technology), ICT Board does the
commercial/environment), KEBS(Standards), and Implementer
could be a New Entity or Rejigged GITS
(same name or a different monster and could comprise of
E-gov, et al)
The User would be the Government of Kenya with a
Usergroup Board made of other ICT players including major
GOK CITOs
Other grey areas can be run by committees ... Easier to
constitute, don't have to be employees of GOK and can be
funded by MOIC.
What do you think??

I agree with Monica. Perhaps change KICTB to KICTA? Then make
e-gov a department of KICTA? This would be better than creating a
new outfit. Expand scope of existing Board.

Subject: Re: [kictanet] ICT Authority?
Waudo,
While I agree that there needs to be coordination, should there
not be a
review of existing agencies : for scope and mandate and see if
these
agencies can be realigned to meet the gaps as raised rather than
creating a
new body? In doing so we may end up with even lesser institutions
if some
are merged etc?
