[kictanet] .Ke domains cross the 100,000 Mark (Reminder to Team KeNIC to make good on their promise during last year’s AGM on transparency and improving on Corporate Governance. The silence is worrying) - REMINDER NO. 2

[Abshiro Halake]

Ali, Twahir, team,

Great idea to enlighten the government and its agencies on this.  The ICT
Ministry should actually take the lead. We could put a parliamentary
question to the ICT Ministry as to why the government continues to use
personal emails. That being said, I was once told that there are two
reasons why this is the case - 1. that government jobs are so temporary
especially for certain cadre of people and 2. tech maintenance and support
is so bad. Not sure if these are just excuses but it may be worth it to
still put the questions. Can someone send me a few pointers to include in
the question/statement? Perhaps why it is important to change this and also
reassurance on security etc.....

Thanks and kind regards,

Sen. Abshiro
