[kictanet] Consulting Services for Establishment of a Physical Address System for Nairobi City

[Bruce Madete]

I chair the Taskforce that is dealing with the National Addresing System
(NAS). The Taskforce includes among others the City Coucil, CCK,
PCK, Google, MOIC, Ministry of lands , The then Metrpolitan ministry, oop,
Central Business District mapIT of South Africa  etc. So far, we are
collecting data in a section of the CBD which will be incorporated in
Googles navigation system. We then expect to role out the piloted
area possibly by the end of May. Thereafter, we expect to cover the rest of
Nairobi and funds permitting the rest of the country.
Perhaps this initiative is to compliment the Taskforce efforts! We will
have to find out from them.
