The contract is going to Smith & Ouzman - was in the newspapers in mid November. The risks are high on failure As S&O have only got 20% of the required capacity, in Nigeria they split the order between 3-4 companies to spread the risk. This is an extremely high risk decision, commercial elements aside, we could have a chaotic elections.</div><div><br></div><div>Is there any authority in Kenya that does proper risk analysis, it is clear the IEBC cannot plan. :(</div><div><br></div><div>Happy Christmas..</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Best Regards,<br><br>Baiju Shah<div>Tele2media Ltd</div><div>Telemedia Africa Ltd</div><div>Tel. +44 7887691570</div><div>email: <a href="mailto:baiju@tele2media.com">baiju@tele2media.com</a></div></div><div><br>On 18 Dec 2012, at 17:46, Per-erick Mulamba <<a href="mailto:peremul@yahoo.com">peremul@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt">Why are our Universities not bidding for these government projects through their enterprise companies?<br><div><span><br></span></div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Odhiambo Washington <<a href="mailto:odhiambo@gmail.com">odhiambo@gmail.com</a>><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Per-Erick Mulamba <<a href="mailto:peremul@yahoo.com">peremul@yahoo.com</a>> <br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cc:</span></b> KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions <<a href="mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke">kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke</a>> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Tuesday, December 18, 2012 1:32 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight:

<br>In the Govt to Govt deal, all Kenya does is tell canada to do the procurement process for Kenya. Canada ups the specs and only invites canadian firms to tender( I mean Canada is for canadians. Not indians). The new bill comes to 7B. The Govt is told to pay upfront. Its bila K. kits cannot be released on time. IEBC says its going manual. Cabinet meets and refuses. Treasury shows cabinet that there is no k in the kitty. Cabinet decides to borrow with interest from Standard Bank.<br>

In the end we get kits at 9B ..and have wasted a lot of valuable time bickering... this is kenya</div><br></div></blockquote><div><br>Time = Money. This is a classic case of that saying. Waste time, waste money.<br><br></div>
