[kictanet] Results Transmission System

[Dorcas Muthoni]

Now, there is loads of information that is becoming available about the
system. I am sharing more that has come my way:


   1. The RFP used to source a vendor:
   http://buyersguide.ifes.org/procurement_pdf/1356124968.pdf
   2. RFP was closing only 4th January, 2013, yes..only this January
   3. An external party (US based) that seems to have been fully involved
   in the entire procurement process and i would imagine implementation as
   well is http://www.ifes.org/. See all details about their role in the
   RFP and others on their website.
   4. Project was USAID funded.
   5. A good blog with several discussions on this:

Before we blame anybody or feel sorry for any party, Please lets do a
thorough review of the ongoings. I am sure we shall then address the IT
problem in this case.
