<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>The Directorate of e-Government recently embarked on a countrywide
Awareness and Education campaign which aimed at sensitizing public servants on
the on going modernization of government services using ICTs. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>The programme was an eye opener. Most civil servants, especially at
rural districts have never used email or even the computer. But there were a
few surprises though. Kakamega DC Njenga Miiri is a true convert of the
technology. From the day he got the request from e-Government to hold a
day’s workshop at Mumias County Hall, Mr. Miiri spared no effort to
ensure it was a success. He mobilized all concerned, postponed some commitments
that fell on the day and was among the first to arrive at the venue-with his
wife! The DC spoke at length on the opportunities that come with the use of ICT
in Government.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>The Bungoma police boss, who had worked a systems administrator at a
reputable organization abroad, was a disappointed man. He did not have a
computer in his office and so you wouldn’t talk to him about
connectivity. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>The programme was carried out in conjunction with Postal Corporation of
<st1:country-region w:st="on"><u1:country-region u2:st="on">Kenya</st1:country-region></u1:country-region>
using the Posta Surf outlets as training facilities in North Rift and <st1:place
w:st="on"><u1:place u2:st="on">Western Kenya</st1:place></u1:place>. The day
would start with presentations aimed at stimulating interest on the potentials
of Information and Communications Technologies to about 50 civil servants. This
would be followed by a live demo on how to activate official email addresses
which had been set up for them by the Directorate of e-Government on the
kenya.go.ke domain in advance. They would then go to the Post Surf Internet
cafes where they would be provided with Ksh.100 Surf cards each for a hands-on
session. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>The impact has been tremendous. A number of them, who had never touched
the mouse, were now able to email to friends and relatives locally and abroad.
They now frequently make enquires with e-government on varied issues like
courses and training opportunities. Plans are now underway to roll out the
programme in other Districts after the evaluation of the first phase.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

w:st="on"><u1:place u2:st="on"><u1:country-region u2:st="on">Kenya</st1:place></st1:country-region></u1:country-region></u1:place>,
a change of mindset is crucial. There is a lot individuals can accomplish even
with little resources once they are convinced that the technology can work for
them.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
