[kictanet] FYI - Malili to be fenced

Mon Apr 19 12:55:48 EAT 2010

Thanks for your contributions whether we agreed or not. I am always encouraged by the words of  Victor Hugo, a French poet who once said "I may disagree with you, but I will defend your right to speak your mind." In my view, Dr Ndemo's clarification on Gov policy should bring this debate to its conclusions.

Regards

Akich Kwach

  We may not be aware what a technology park is since we do not have one.  It is a major security concern even in the absence of land grabbers squaters name it.  Am not sure at what level this fencing is but it would very interesting to have a park with no security this moment when we have high scale terorist activities.  If the plan is still on course could we have it fenced immediately and have reputable company guard it.  We can have a chance of someone planting something at the moment that can destroy it ten years down the line meaning our data will be lost grounding our activities.   We intend to house large companies in the park, small companies and international companies.  Have been to the Media Plaza at Utrecht in Europe at the security measures is a wonder. Let us stop to think!

  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.
