[kictanet] Draft National ICT Masterplan

[Dorcas Muthoni]

Dear Paul,

Many thanks for this. I have had a chance to look through the document.

The strategic pillar is pretty good. I particularly like the Digital
Economy Development especially with regard to the SME sector.

We have recently launched into the market a cloud SME business management
tool called OpenBusiness (www.openbusiness.co.ke). You can have a look at
it.

I am very glad to see the work you and the ICT board are steering. Kenyan
SMEs are responding to the siren call of the regional market and
effectively positioning themselves especially in the Common Market for East
and Central Africa (COMESA) region.

Enabling SMEs run their operations smoothly and efficiently is really one
of the invaluable ways we in the ICT sector can collectively boost in the
digital economy development. The SME sector needs affordable operational
tools.

I notice emphasis on partnerships in the delivery of key outcomes in the
masterplan. We already engaged in PPPs especially to facilitate compliance
and ease of doing business. We are happy to engage in this.

Again, very well done!

NB: I am volunteering in one of the strategic committees > Development of
ICT Businesses.

Regards,
Muthoni
