[kictanet] A lending hand for KPLC and other agencies from the private sector?

[Edwin Onchari]

Listers,

 

Anyone out there aware of any initiative where the private sector can give a
lending hand to government to deliver quality services to its citizens? If
not, is this something that can be explored?

 

A suggestion/example I have in mind is for instance have some developers
collaborate with say KPLC is putting a solution in place (integrate with
whatever ERP they have in place) where electricity consumers can key in
meter readings daily, weekly, or whenever they so choose. This could save
the consumers quite a penny in that they are able to accurately monitor
their consumption;  access their itemized bills online and hopefully KPLC
can lower the fuel levy that they so exorbitantly charge the consumer! It
makes very little sense to go queue for 3-4hrs at their offices to sort out
erroneous billing month in month out, because their meter reader decided not
to do his/her work and instead submit estimates. 

 

These collaborative solutions can be extended to other government agencies
so that they catch up with the rest of us in the 21st Century!

 

 

Kind regards,

 

Edwin
