[kictanet] Government to Launch Open Data July 8th @KICC

[Walubengo J]

Way to go for Kenya.  I think this is called "walking the talk".  Kudos to the men and women behind this great initiative and just to mention a few in Govt:  Ndemo, Paul K, most likely Kate G,  Google: Mucheru/Ory and many others behind the scenes.

Those outside govt may not know but to pull off this type of thing - ahead of the Freedom of Info Act and under the entrenched govt culture of hiding data  - is a great leap of faith by the folks in Govt.

You can almost say: Am almost proud being Kenyan ;-)
walu.
