[kictanet] ICT Authority request on Connected Kenya

[James Kagwe]

Grace,

What if the government would create committees consisting of private and 
public sector professional to conceptualize, procure (tender and 
evaluate), implement and maintain key government projects. Hoping that 
the professional from the private sector will not be overcome by 
personal interests, government would gain a lot form the ideas in the 
private sector and at the same time the private sector professionals 
will keep a check on possible personal interests on the government 
employees. Personal interests sometimes causes government employees to 
award tenders to those willing to oil their hands than those with the 
requisite technology and experience.

regards,
James
