<DIV>Bwana PS,<BR><BR>Much appreciated contribution but I am struggling with
one issue. I have been toying with how to put it down and lacked the words so
I will put it down anyway (apologies if misunderstood). Here goes....does the
cabinet really understand that some of their delays in decision making can
make the country lose out in a big way. I know for a fact that there are many
countries who have positioned themselves ready to 'grab' the outsourcing jobs
while we still await decisions. Is there any way around this? Is there anyway
that they can understand that a decision which impinges on the
legal/regulatory framework of the ICT industry must be timely unlike, for
example, a decision on new equipment/trucks for the army (important but
not urgent)...or matters to do with paternity leave (important but not
urgent)........<BR><BR>Best,<BR><BR>Nyaki<BR></DIV>

Day 2 of 10:-BPO discussions, Legal and Regulatory
Frameworks<BR></FONT><BR>Walubengo,<BR>In the next few weeks, Judiciary is to
outsource its transcriptions of<BR>court process. We need to put in
place the infrastructure first. some<BR>decisions take longer because
they require cabinet approval. The good<BR>news is that there is
sufficient goodwill to bring such
reforms.<BR><BR><BR>Ndemo.<BR><BR><BR>><BR>> Morning
all,<BR>><BR>> Yesterday was like my 1st day in school - what a rich
learning experience!<BR>> Thanx to Waema, Nyaki, Barrack, Otuoma, and MM
whose contributions were<BR>> quite enlightening. Of the two questions
asked, it appears that we need<BR>> both comprehensive ICT and BPO Policies
and Strategies. With regard to<BR>> National BPO strategies and
targets we learnt that there was quite some<BR>> detail at the Ministry of
Planning and the BPO Society which could benefit<BR>> members if made
widely accessible.<BR>><BR>> Today we move from the Policy to the Legal,
Regulatory Frameworks. The<BR>> Research study found very comprehensive
Legal and Regulatory environment<BR>> in S.Africa, India and Mauritius that
supported their BPO industry.<BR>> Specifically, laws that took care of
eTransactions, eCrime, Copyrights and<BR>> Data Protection were well
established. Furthermore their BPO Industries<BR>> had adopted stringent
Quality Assurance Frameworks for BPO and Contact<BR>> Center
Operations.<BR>><BR>> The Researchers found that the case for Kenya was
relatively comparable -<BR>> with the recently enacted KCA Act (2009) that
deals with eCrime &<BR>> eTransactions leading the way, others like the
Copyright Act (2001) as<BR>> well as the Freedom of Information Bill
cuurently at an advanced stage<BR>> providing an encouraging
Legal/Regulatory environment.<BR>><BR>> Which brings us to the following
two questions:<BR>><BR>> Q3: With submarine cables landing next week and
given the above<BR>> legal/regulatory frameworks, how comes Kenya is NOT
experiencing the<BR>> anticipated boom in the BPO sector? What should we do
to get local and<BR>> foreign investors to show more confidence in the BPO
industry?<BR>><BR>> Q4: Could there be gaps in our Legal, Regulatory and
Institutional<BR>> frameworks that need to be addresssed?<BR>><BR>>
Put in black and white- Why hasn't Safaricom, Orange, Zain and several<BR>>
local Banks who have all opened their own very large Call-Centers NOT<BR>>
shown confidence in the BPO sector by outsourcing their operations to<BR>>
local BPO operators? What of the Government itself? Why cant it
outsource<BR>> non-core functions to the local BPO operators before trying
attract<BR>> foreign investors to do the same?<BR>><BR>> The floor is
open, we have only today to get comments/answers to these<BR>>
issues.<BR>><BR>> walu.<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>>
