<p class=MsoPlainText>Subject: RE: [kictanet] Korea<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Edith,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Today we spent some time in Daejeon, the Silicon Valley
of Korea.� The city is about 200 Km north of Seoul or a two and half hour
drive.� By rail it took us 45 minutes to cover the distance in their 350 Kph
super train. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>It was faster than driving from South B to City Centre at
peak hour in Nairobi.� Korea is a country of hills but the highways and rail
tunnels run straight since they blast through these hills making driving
pleasurable.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Even at the breath taking speed, we had a glimpse of
their farm lands and rural life.� The rice fields are dry and clear scattered
with hay. Here nothing goes to waste as this is what improves on their
productivity.� Kim who sat next to me tells me much of hay will be animal
fodder, particularly for grazing livestock such as cattle� and some will be
used to make bloakboards thus increasing retuns to farmers.� For a few minutes
I reflected on the waste from our wheat and corn fields that would easily feed
the dying livestock in Northern Kenya or safe our trees by making bloakbords.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>At intervals of about 50 Km there is a city with high
rises.� The average size of an appartment is 90 sq m and with two to three
bedrooms.� They don't need more than that Kim said.� The average family size
here is 3. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Fertility rate is 1.1 per woman going by 2010
statistics.� Fertility rate in Kenya from the same statistics stands at 5
children per woman with Central and Nyanza averaging� 3 and 6 respectively (the
variance between Central and Nyanza is largely due to education of women and
not Kumi Kumi as Hon. Shitanda may think).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>I ask Kim what percentage of their population is urban.�
he quickly pulls his Galaxy handset and googles my question.� This is common
here.� Nobody seems to know anything.� Google has the answer.� Eighty one
percent he says.� We arrive in Daejeon and what strikes you is the amount of
rail infrastructure.� The high speed, the slow speed (cheaper with maximum
speed of 180 kmh on standard gauge.� Note that whenever our train moves at more
than 60 kph, it rolls as we are on narrow gauge) and the goods train.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>There are 60 research centers but our trip takes us to
their National Data Center.� It is a seven floor building measuring 40,000 sq
m.� It consumes<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>240 MW of power and has 1,000 employees on a three shift
rotation.� They keep their sensitive data here with a back up facility in
another city 70 Kms further north.� They are planning on a third facility that
would mainly focus on business continuity.� The head of the facility receives
us.� He does not speak a single word of English but a woman seated next to him
translates about 70% of what is said.� More important he tells us the benefits
of automation including the efficiencies that government has created to its
citizens and the reduction of corruption in Korea.� He admits that Korea at one
time was as corrupt as any of those countries struggling in the TI list.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>I am foever optimistic that automation will see Kenya
eradicate corruption.� Preliminary results are encouraging.� Pre-digitization
at Lands Ministry has seen revenue jump from Ksh. 3 billion to Ksh. 7 billion.�
Once we finish it is estimated that GoK will collect as much as Ksh. 30
billion.� A similar amount will be recovered if we automated our procurement.�
The Company registry's revenue are up three times. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Judiciary we have not finished yet butthere are positive
signs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>We left Daejeon at 2 pm for a 3.30 pm meeting with the
Minister in Public Service.� There are certainly areas that Korea needs to
improve.� In all the meeting I attended, there was not a single senior woman.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>In this all expense paid visit to Korea, I made one
serious arror but a good lesson.� I invited four of the senior people to a
dinner sponsored by Kenya (a diplomatic lingua franca).� My bill came to Kuan.
1.2 million or $1,000.� Seoul is EXPENSIVE.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>> I arrived in Korea yesterday for a Global

<p class=MsoPlainText>> ITU ranks Korea as number one in ICT diffusion.�
>From the airport you <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> see people walk through with an e-passport using
biometrics.� The New <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> Incheon airport is 70 Kms west of Seoul, the capital
and largest city <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> of South Korea with some 11 million inhabitants. It
is one of the <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> largest and busiest airports in the world actually
the world's fourth <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> busiest airport by cargo traffic, and the world's
eighth busiest <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> airport in terms of international passengers in
2010.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> Korea is about 99,000 sq Kms or one half of the Rift
Valley Province <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> of Kenya with a population of 50 million and a GDP
of $1 trillion <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> (Kenya's GDP is about $35 billion).� In the 60's it
was largely a <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> donor recipient country with a GDP less than that of
Kenya and more <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> than 60% of its population below poverty.� They have
turned tables to <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> be a member of the OECD and a donor country over a
short period.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> For many years it mostly depended on the USA as its
largest trade <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> partner but over a time they focused their energies
on the Asian <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> Markets.� Its trade with China, USA and Japan in
2010 figures stands <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> at %190, $98 and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> $90 billion respectively.� They import a great deal
of food and the <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> reason why we should not lease our land but use it
to improve on our <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> economic growth.� A Kg of meat here is $100 imported
from Canada and Brazil.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> I asked our Ambassador why we cannot sell our meat
here.� He says we <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> do not meat their standards. �This should not be a
problem since we <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> have broadband in most parts of the country that we
can keep pace with <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> the rest of the world in keeping the records

<p class=MsoPlainText>> by various standrds organization.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> Back to Korea.� ICTs are also deployed along the
highways making it <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> easier to go through the toll stations and
collecting all the <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> revenues.� You can get data from government at every
hour.� You can <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> for example know the number of children born in a
day throughtout the <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> country.� There is CCTV practically everywhere.�
Crime is approaching zero.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> There is an over supply of affordable public
transport via the rail <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> and bus system all clean and on time.� If you choose
to drive on your <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> own, you are taxed at every new turn you make.� The
tax from the <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> polluters who cannot use public transport is used to
subsidize the <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> energy efficient public tranportation.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>> instilling the discipline required in this
competitive world.� Because <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> of such discipline, they do everything very fast.�
We were literaly <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> running behind our hosts to catch up with them.� In
the Newspapers <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>> My experience here confirms much of what we have
been saying in this <o:p></o:p></p>
