[kictanet] cyber security

Sun Apr 18 16:40:35 EAT 2010

Dr Ndemo
I chaired the telecommunications subcommittee when preparing the current ICT
policy in 2005  in kilifi  ( not kilifi draft) and it was very contentious
because of the fight to retain the trappings of monopoly for the  incumbent.
Eventually ,the ICT policy document was a comprise  based  on lowest common
indicators  to accommodate all and built on history . certainly this is not
the foundation  for inspiration today .  the time for a new policy is now
and your effort and passion  is highly welcome . 

That policy was the first to engage a multi-stakeholder approach and the
experience base is just overwhelming  now  and efficient to handle the new
policy.

Kind regards 
Muriuki

Muriuki,
Thanks.  We have four other policy documents that I want to use the forum as
a test bed before we organize any public forum.  We also have a revised ICT
Policy that may radically change the status quo.

The growing interest in ITES may force to develop a number of policy papers
that encourage growth.  Remember that I have commited to a 10 percent ICT
sector contribution to GDP by 2012.

Dr Ndemo
We are in the process of launching a serious discussion on information/cyber
security policy  on the list shortly.  This will be based and build on the
draft policy that you circulated earlier this month .  we are finalising the
practical issues  on the moderation  of the discussion  as per Kictanet
practice

Ikua,
Thank you.  I have tried to have the forum discuss the important policy on
cyber security but only one person made some comments.  It is unfortunate
that we focus on issues that fall within the purview of auditors.

Regards

Ndemo.
