<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#365F91'>Dear All,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#365F91'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#365F91'>We are pleased to inform you
that <span class=apple-style-span>Kenya ICT Board and the E- Government
directorate initiative has successfully completed
installation of the much anticipated connectivity project at the Kenyatta
International Conference Center. Sponsored and implemented by the two key
stakeholders, the project has seen the set up of a secure Local Area Network;
with infrastructure laid across the entire KICC premises.</span></span><span
class=apple-style-span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#365F91'>The network will be centrally
managed and maintained on an inclusive IT system
with connectivity to both the internet and the Government Common
Core Network (GCCN). It is supported on a fiber optic backbone that
was rolled out as part of the project and completed under the guidance of
a team comprising experts from the Board among other stakeholder
organizations. KICC has for a long time stood out as a key government owned
building that does not have its own local area network and access to the
Government WAN (wide area network.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#365F91'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#365F91'>This project is a milestone
achievement as it realizes connectivity of all government offices to an
overall network (comprising all other ministries and selected departments)
allowing seamless and secure communication and file sharing. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#365F91'>The project will be commissioned
next week and we will keep you informed on the details. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#365F91'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#365F91'>We congratulate the team that
made this project a success - lead by Victor Kyalo and George Otieno from
the board and the late Dr. Juma Oketch , Elijah Liech and the E-Government
Directorate team.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#365F91'>I have attached the project
charter to give you some background on the project.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
