[kictanet] Fwd: Open Data - Where does it sit?

Aki

First allow me to smile at your impassioned arguments. However seems to me that you want to have your cake and eat it too.. (Though there's the argument that if you have the cake why not eat it? :) ).

Me thinks we can agree to disagree here. In the ICT space Government is doing what it should (pushed as it is by forums like these). The private sector needs to catch up fast. The likes of Dr. Ndemo and his predecessor Hon. James Rege have done this country proud.

I guess I come from the school of thought that the less Government the better in our lives. The fact that we keep on insisting on more Government involvement not less is a reflection of a failure in ourselves. But then that's just my humble opinion.

Cup half full Aki..Not half empty.. :)
