[kictanet] The KRA Issue

[robert yawe]

Please note that the Simba system is more than just a web site its the heart of 
our revenue collection system and for it to go down for 3 days is an issue of 
grave concern to those of us in the ICT field foremost and the nation in 
general.

If KRA's systems can go down yet they literacy have a blank cheque for system or 
what do we expect from our profit driven institutions?

KRA needs to have 2 or 3 disaster recovery locations spread around the country 
with automated fail-over, so imagine if the same is the case with the 
immigration and other sensitive departments that hold our vital data, it seems 
we have all forgotten about WikiLeaks.

"How come no one has made any comments on the downtime of KRA "
This is Probably because the Govt collects SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS of hard working 
Kenyan Tax Payers REVENUE and has managed not to account for 714 BILLION Kenya 
Shillings in a 2 year period.

In this respect, why should anyone care?
