What if the government would create committees consisting of private
and public sector professional to conceptualize, procure (tender and
evaluate), implement and maintain key government projects. Hoping
that the professional from the private sector will not be overcome
by personal interests, government would gain a lot form the ideas in
the private sector and at the same time the private sector
professionals will keep a check on possible personal interests on
the government employees. Personal interests sometimes causes
government employees to award tenders to those willing to oil their
hands than those with the requisite technology and experience. <br>

<div dir="ltr">I have received a request from the ICT Authority
on the topic of Connected Kenya. <br>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">Connected Kenya this year wants to
explore the theme of getting Citizen to “Self Serve”<span

services.
The theme is “Bridging the service gap”</p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">In the spirit of consultation, and in
recognizing the valuable ideas from the different sectors of
the community, the ICT Authority <b>would like to get
industry thoughts and views on what they
perceive as barriers to the achievement of ‘self-services’
to mwananchi <span style=""> </span>in Kenya. </b></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">What can government do in terms of
policies, implementation of projects, engagement to further
this agenda? <span style=""> </span>And what role does the
Private sector also
play and how can both come together to further the interest
of getting the
citizen to access services at the comfort of their homes?</p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">We request that for the next five
days, you kindly feel feel free to contribute and help the

Phyllis from ICTA will collate all your ideas. </p>
