stastitics were collected through research, visits and analysis of public
sector documents over several months. The team collected IT budget,

entities. They further assessed detailed application data and
infrastructure for 8 ministries.There is also a report for the local
government that is similar.

sector across 39 ministries worth over Kshs 35 billion.  Divided into
Digitization, Appilications and Infrastructure.
