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></div></DIV> <DIV> <div class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">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></div></DIV> <DIV> <div
class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The programme was carried out in conjunction with Postal Corporation of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><?xml:namespace prefix = u1 /><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></div></DIV> <DIV> <div
class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">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></div></DIV> <DIV> <div class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">To make e-Government reality in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place 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.
