<br>But
I could add my own "unofficial" perspective/personal opinion which is that
the ICT Board could be the <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">Ministry of Information</span>
implementing agent for ICT Strategies/Projects/Activities. This could have
been occasioned by the e-Government Secretariate and GITS (Government Info
Technology Services) cold-war and power games that may have compromised on
each others ability to deliver on technology enabled services for
Government.<br><br>walu.<br><br>--- On <b>Thu, 3/25/10, robert yawe
