@MM,

I also missed the vetting process of our nominee and Google does not seem to have captured it either. But we have Citizen, Nation and KTN lurkers on this list and am sure they could guide us on their archives.

walu.
nb: meanwhile, I think Dr. Matiangi and all the other nominees are through and one can safely say Congratulations!

Hi Listers 

Anyone knows how I can access  a recording of the ICT cabinet secretary vetting  yesterday? 

Was not able to watch  the whole session  but in the short time I recall   him touching in key touch points on universal access , cyber terrorism ,  security of ICT infrastructure  as a critical infrastructure , broadband. Sessional paper   and konza among others . He was certainly well prepared  to set an agenda for the sector and very passionate in  elucidating his vision . One other thing I noted, is his appreciation of the work done by Dr Ndemo to elevate the ICT to a key national agenda 

 

Walu – any idea of a link to the vetting proceedings?

Cheers 

MM

Just wondering,

In the likely departure of both PS Ndemo and CEO Paul Kukubo, I wonder how much TTL (time to live) there is for our  https://opendata.go.ke/ initiative. 

Contrast below:

Today, as he heads to Austin, Texas, for a Middle Class Jobs and Opportunity Tour <http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2013/05/08/president-obama-headed-austin-heres-why> , President Obama signed an Executive Order <http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2013/05/09/executive-order-making-open-and-machine-readable-new-default-government->  directing historic steps to make government-held data more accessible to the public and to entrepreneurs and others as fuel for innovation and economic growth. The Executive Order declares that information is a valuable resource and strategic asset for the Nation. We couldn’t agree more.
