[kictanet] [kicktanet] Key ICT Sector Takeaways from 2016/17 Kenya Budget

[Ahmed Mohamed Maawy]

I am curious (and this is something I may want to hear out from peers /
listers). But this is my opinion:

   - M-Akiba, eCitizen, Kenya National Electronic Single Window System,
   Digitize Government Payments, are very good wins for us. However also we
   need to also invest in secure and reliable systems also, I think as a
   country we have incidents of massive system failure especially when there
   is huge traffic. How hacker proof are these systems, also?
   - IPRS: Better than manual stuff, but we need to do more homework on
   privacy concerns around this and how it may work not to violate privacy.
   - Laptop Project and Konza City: Are we getting too ambitious perhaps?
   Or is it a good way to go for now (meaning where there better places to
   invest in?).
   - Telkom Kenya: Blank about how that can work out. Orange seems to be
   good at Data but is 10% more a better revenue stream?
