[kictanet] IFMIS Reloaded? Is this the silver bullet to corruption? Or is it just another PR exercise in futility?

[Grace Githaiga]

Thanks Ali for sharing the articles. 
Clearly this is resistance to technology and we can only guess the reasons. How do you explain the errors with a technology that has been in use for over a decade? I think there is a deliberate move to discredit the IFMIS.

There has been a lot said about IFMIS and how it's supposed to have revolutionized Government accountability and spending. There are as many detractors as there are supporters. 
What is the real story? 
Can someone in Treasury/ICTA  share with us how this Government ERP has fared since its inception? 
See links below from the same media group that have different stories to tell about the success/failure of IFMIS

It would be good to get a 'State of IFMIS' report from the Treasury.
