<br>Imagine being the CIO of Safaricom but having Marketing, Engineering, |HR and other departments buying and running their own ICT systems that have no relation to each other = disaster. Think Lands, Immigration, AG, Police with their own un-connected ICT budgets then you will begin to see the need to harmonize at some level - as long as you dont kill the speed at which some ministries/ depts may wish to move.<br>
