<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(51,0,153)">
The Internet offers a very good opportunity for open governance in terms of information flow to the Citizens. This means that the County governments can endeavor to ensure that there is transparency and that every detail of developement is made available to the citizens as it happens.<br>
<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(51,0,153)">It also acts as a good resource for crowd sourcing where all the County Govts have a central portal/database where all updates and information is accumulated as well as� distributed, this will increase accountability and as such they can be rated based on real time analysis available through ICT systems deployed.<br>
