<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif";">Indeed,
Kenya can’t be compared to Rwanda. Kenya, while we have done well to bring
broadband home, we need to keep the momentum, to use it appropriately. And in
my opinion (with apologies for repetition), I feel GoK should still lead the
way by taking all pertinent measures possible. At the moment, whether
deliberately or not, GoK hasn’t put a clear and comprehensive institutional
framework for ICT (this being the focus). Case in point is the lack of presence
of eGovt. The IT personnel in GoK are scarcely known or seen, whether for PR
sake or not. Am not sure there are eGovt Specialists and Analysts in GoK for
example? Or ICT Policy Advisors, IPv6 Engineers, Web Architects, Application/Technology
Architects and/or Analysts, IS Auditors & Security Managers, etc? The need
for ICT Governance and/or structure for ICT management in GoK is obviously manifest
here. Such a structure residing in one institution, say, at the Directorate of
eGovt would enhance relationships within the Kenya ICT fraternity to achieve
the necessary growth & development brought about by ICT. <span style=""> </span>And, the ‘connected government summit’ is one
such good forum for sustaining ICT industry growth. GoK as an Enterprise should
been seen as such and it should as well pursue what is best for itself<span style=""> </span>taking all factors into consideration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif";">Undoubtedly
Kenya is progressing well, and truly we are ‘going places’. I think, here, we
are a group of people who are ‘hungry’ to see the very best in our country
because (I believe) we have the requisite potential. The good works of our
Government in support of ICT are praiseworthy which shows that GoK’s role in growing
ICT in Kenya to achieve very great heights is significantly crucial. And that’s
why I so strongly feel that GoK should came out strongly, as it has done with broadband
project. As the ICT Board continues to market Kenya as an ICT hub and undertake
the related activities including managing the donor funds for ICT and
eGovernment, we need to see GoK ICT Governance in an independent institution of
Government IT experts and personnel, doing what GoK MUST do to reap the
benefits of broadband and ICTs. Please allow me to ask, ‘What happened to the Directorate
of eGovernment and what was it envisioned to become?’<o:p></o:p></span></p>

There is very little on the ground. What is big in Rwanda is the PR around ICT. I would rather not have the PR but action like we have seen it happen here in Kenya within just a few days.

<div>For effective and long-term strategic developments, the system needs to be looked at as a whole, and specifically from "helicopter, or bird's eye view perspective. The right hand needs to know what the left is doing. Duplication of roles and many centres of powers can only deter development. Starting from the global perspective, it was a big debate to arrive at the jus the name "Information, Commuinications and Techonologies." It took the world nations a number of forums and numerous dicussions and dialogue sessions, before a concensus was reached to coin the name, now commonly abbreviated ICT. The main reason was the the complexity arising due rapidly changing technologcal innovations, the changing needs of the people, the needs for governments to develop policicies, etc., Some polcies were were based on comand-and-control approach, in the industries or sub-sectors of economy,
in what is now commonly known as the ICT sector. At the beginning the indutry boundaries were distinct, mainly revolving around telecommunications and broadcasting. The life was easy because the enviroment was more stable and the future was easily predicable. With the techlological innovations in computing and communications, and the convergence of variuous technologies, industry boundaries have become more maleable, and increase in flux in industry stractures. This this is a challenge as well as an oppotunity that we are facing and need to be addressed, at all times. There is need for an umbrella body "from a bird's eye view perspective " for the strategy formulation and coordination of strategy implementation in order to achieve the long-term national objectives. Otherwise we will end-up with fragmented development plans, with very little impact on the sytem as whole at the national
level. These can only be useful for quick fix solutions.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Contributions, including mentions about professional bodies/assocaiations have been raised in this discussions, e.g. ICPAK, KMA, etc. Also there are variuos governmental authorities in this country, apart from the ICT Board, e.g. Roads Board, Coffee Board, etc. some of which are not professionally based, wheras quite a good number are. Though ICT sector is wide and diverse, and it may be a challenge to bring all the stakeholders under one umbrella body, it is worth underating the challenge and get a solution. There are other organizations which need to be included, and which could be having resources to guide the ICT to achieve sustainabale development. For example, the Institution of Engineers of Kenya (IEK), the Enginners Regitration Board (ERB), the locatal chapter of Intutution of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (in any), etc. The organizers of the
proposed forum could extend invitation to such professional bodies as well.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><br><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">This is so comprehensive.. Hope, notes are being taken from these resourceful discussions coming in.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">Mine, is just a proposal. Clearly, the different agencies existing, happen to work within some form of </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">mandate in their own areas of jurisdiction or so, whether the mandates are competing mandates or</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">a duplication, it may be quite difficult to just "merge" them.. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">Clearly, Listers - one thing that is now clear, is that ICT is a huge phenomenon, that cuts' out across</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">the entire spectrum of Govt and ministries - beyond INFOCOM. This means, stakeholders from other</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">Govt. sectors need to be brought into the fold to harmonize strategy..</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">I suppose therefore, this may call for an oversight body - to which, each of the Govt agencies can have a</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">representation. This oversight, could encompass reps, from all sectors, private , and govt. All interests</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">should be declared as a pre-requisite to serving on this panel for purposes of accountability and </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">transparency..</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">If in order, I could float some names for such a body, such as:-</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<ul type="disc">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Yes, Robert.......I see. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Certainly, what GoK needs is ICT Governance. “<span style="color: rgb(35, 31, 32);">Without governance you do not produce good decisions consistently. ‘Governance’ in the context of the management of ICT crafts a clear framework in which decisions are made, who makes the decisions about business and technology developments, who has input into the decision-making process and how the decisions are formed”.</span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;">In my opinion, the ICT Board (under Min. Of Info Comm), the Directorate of e-Government (under OP), the GITS Department (under Min. Of Finance), and both the CCK and NCS (both under Min. Of Info Comm) seem to have related ICT goals and objectives. They (unfortunately) don’t seem to oftenly collaborate in their decision-making. I personally like the idea of a KITA like SITA/RITA. Sometime ago, the Directorate of e-Government seemed to come-up into a KITA (in the way we think of SITA/RITA), but did not ‘mature’ into the institution envisioned. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">This has conspicuously missed within GoK, in the past years. We look to GoK greatly to spur ‘mwananchi’ by keenly committing to ‘add value’ to broadband so that their attitude, confidence and appreciation towards the use ICTs and the Internet increases (especially in the rural areas, as they access Government e-Services), thus creating an Internet Community and an IT culture. Am not sure we necessarily need support from outside to do this, even donor funds (we don’t need). We can do it on our own, as we (Kenya) are, now, known to be an emerging knowledge economy. GoK can lead the way to create a Kenyan way ‘working with’and using ICT. We have so many Youth (any way), who are jobless! Lets purposefully develop capacity of these young and use them sufficiently. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">Hi Lilian,</span></p></div>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">Just wanted to clarify an issue, government has some of the best trained ICT fellows and I know because I have regularly interacted with them for over 10 years. Do not be deceived by the fact that they are no fancy websites or iphone applications the men and women who keep the government systems running are basically miracle workers.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span></p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">How they do it is beyond my comprehension and the last thin they need is a capacity building what they need like all with the other areas of government is a co-ordinator or a Deputy Prime Minister IS. Hon Raila has definitely moved government efficiency a notch higher and without a "dream team" or expatriate consultants all he did was dust off the diamonds within. </span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span></p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">Government has a beautiful retention strategy which is we pay you for 2 hours a day and we expect you to only deliver the paid for work, if you are unable to find something profitable to do with the balance 6 hours then that is your problem.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span></p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">What we need is a deputy prime minister information systems or ICT or BPO whatever the name of which KICTB has proven not to be to "desilo" (term coined by Dr. Ndemo during the PM Round table meeting) the government activities.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span></p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">Can you government ICT gurus stick your heads out and defend your selves, I know many of you are on this listing, so be warned that next time I need to put the record strait on your behalf I will actually name names.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear PS:</p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is a little discouraging to hear you say that the issues discussed in this topic are 'kuchongoana tu'. We look up to you, and others in Government and also in the private sector who are so passionate about the use of ICTs and the Internet to create opportunities for all, in Kenya, and see that ICT remains a reliable vehicle for economic growth and development. So, please don't stop listening to us, patiently and we beseech you to continue in your wisdom in dealing with these matters.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">This topic, 'Who is ICT Board?' as well as that of 'eGovernment is it a myth or reality?' have raised important questions that should be addressed with 'a big heart' and an open mind. As you have noted, a town hall meeting is good and always welcome. However, moving forward, it needs to be clear how ICT Board interacts with Government and how it promotes the existence of an Institutional Framework for ICT management in Government. Clearly, the ICT Board manages of a huge chunk of donor funds for ICT growth in Kenya, eGovernment and the likes (through the KTCIP), but still the Government lags behind in their ICT technical know-how and skills.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">While one of their mandate (the ICT Board) is <strong><span style="color: blue;">Capacity Building (</span></strong>Providing GoK and other stakeholders with skills, capacity and funding for anchor implementation of ICT projects for development) over time we have only seen laxity in the management of ICT by Government i.e. poor websites, unsatisfactory performance of legacy systems, inconsistent DNS & IP address management, meagre IT Security (web, network, etc), little or no R&D and M&E of ICT & eGovt, etc. But may be it is not deliberate laxity, it is that the Government Officers who manage IT issues in Government are not continuously trained in all pertinent areas to raise experts and skillful personnel.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope this is an area ICT Board can address, when they say that part of their mandate is <strong><span style="color: blue;">Capacity Building, </span></strong><span style="color: black;">otherwise we have Government Officers who cannot do much to use broadband properly and strategically as well as make eGovernment a reality. The cabilities of these Officers should be close to, if not better than those in the private sector. And when GoK finally has real experts and engineers in ICT, a retention strategy MUST be adopted to keep them and recompense them accordingly. This is the future of Government IT, 'people who are knowledgeable and focused on a bright future'.</span></p>
