[kictanet] Day 3: e-Discussion on Aligning records management with ICT e-government and Freedom of Information in East Africa/ Where are you Listers?

Fri Sep 16 12:16:46 EAT 2011

Grace,

What if there are no positive answers to the questions?

The PS (Ndemo) recently noted we (the Private Sector) lose steam (passion or
motivation) to deliver service / solutions after we get government
contracts. Could be the political process wears out companies that tough it
out.

It is almost criminal for software / solutions to not be deployed 2-3 years
after being procured.

For those of you in government who cannot get ENOUGH training done or who
cannot retain staff after training them, there is hope online.
It is not sufficient but it is better than nothing..

This is world class stuff for world class software the government has
already invested in :)
