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

[Paul Makobi]

Good stuff

 

On my 2mbps the access is still too slow . this is not an issue of fiber -J

 

I believe we need load balanced alternate sites atleast one in Nairobi.

 

Sort this asap so that the data is accessible to the right user at the right
time

 

regards

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.
