<DIV align=justify><FONT size=3><FONT face=Georgia>Much good suggestions have
come up on this Day 1 of the discussion and what I can say is that the national
government through ICT Authority published the Kenya National ICT Master Plan
2014 –2017. We should also look at what is in this document in terms of its
pillars, objectives and strategies and see whether they have been devolved to
the counties, otherwise we might end up duplicating efforts here. But what is
coming out as much as we intensify our use of ICT is the aspect of security and
how to combat the computer related crimes. As much as we have the national CIRT,
I think we should also devolve incidence response and management to the counties
and come up with a framework of how county level CIRTs can collaborate with the
national CIRT. We facilitated a computer incident response team (CIRT) training
last year in AFRALTI sponsored by CA. <SPAN

constituents were drawn from government including providers of critical public
utility services, ICT service providers including mobile telecom operators, the
banking/financial sector and academia. The aim of this training was to
facilitate the establishment of various sector based CIRTs (banking, telcos,
critical infrastructure...etc). I would suggest the same strategy could be used
to arm county level CIRTs otherwise we will be talking technology while leaving
security as an afterthought which is also very
dangerous.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>

to Day 1 of 'Talk to the Senate'. This must have been what the framers of the
Constitution had in mind when they entrenched public participation as a key
constitutional principle- an opportunity for us to make a case on what we think
ought to be the Senate's priority 2017-2022. I therefore encourage that we all
participate in this session and look forward to an animated discussion. </P>

being the first day, our goal is to bring out issues of concern in the counties
as far as ICT is concerned. Once we have these, we will proceed to make
proposals on how the Senate may be of help in resolving these issues on Day 2.
On Day 3, we will discuss how to foster engagements between the ICT community
and the legislature. </P>
