[kictanet] CCK launches its third strategic plan

Fri Nov 29 16:53:53 EAT 2013

Listers,

As much as we demonize CCK sometimes (okay, a lot...), I can't help but
think that for what its worth, they at least come up with a realistic plan
and set out to achieve them.

Lets compare that with the rest of the ICT fields, say the ones tasked with
ensuring Kenya becomes a technology powerhouse. What *realistic* plans do
they have, have they been submitted here for debate previously?

Yes, we do have the Kenya ICT Masterplan as listed here
http://www.ict.go.ke/index.php/ict-masterplan/420-overview

and I quite like

*"... **Goal 2: Kenya will become the leading ICT HUB in African(sic)
attracting leading global players and generating globally respected local
entrepreneurship and innovation..."*

But, what are our previous figures and what is the target figures to
achieve it?

I once blogged about it here (
http://www.a1.io/a1io_blog/local-ict-industry-the-biggest-story-of-our-lives/)
and til now, I have not got any solid answer and especially so from
those
tasked to achieve this 'dream'.

P.S
I might have hijacked this thread, but there is some relevance...
