Thanx Bomu, Wangari, Rop, Barrack, Wambui and others for your reactions...the floor is actually open for belated reactions on previous thematic areas, just keep the subject line in context.
Today we share the feedback on the last thematic area :- Information Infrastructure as given below.

?
a) 86% of the respondentsfelt that government digitization (Huduma Centers, eCitizen portal, etc) program hasbeen useful to a very large extent. 12% felt it was moderately useful with avery small minority1.5 thinking it has not been useful.

b) 48% of the respondents felt that the digitization ofgovernment operations has gone to the other sectors to a moderate extent. 30%felt this cross-sector absorption of ICTs has not really happened while 10%feel it has to a very large extent.

c) 52% of the respondents felt that the local content industryhas NOT been well supported. 34% felt it has been moderately supported whileonly 8% felt it has been supported to a very large extent.

d) 70% of the respondents felt that the issue of informationsecurity has not been adequately addressed. 25% thought it had been moderatelyaddressed while only 4% felt it had been addressed to a very large extent.

d) ?The following were mentioned as key info-infrastructureinterventions that have not been addressed/misaddressed:

?
Misguided/aggressive e-Content regulation maybecounter-productive to local content industry. Security surveillance withoutData Protection Act is counter-productive. The Government Shared Serviceconcept still not effective, particularly at County levels. Expand eGovServices to be accessible thro USSD, Improve the user-interface on mostGovernment websites, enhance cyber security and offer public awareness programson the same.? 

The detailed report is attached and we have until tomorrow mid-day to close this up.
best regards.
walu.
