Speed Cameras
by [ Brainiac ] 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

This is an open question specifically directed at PS Ndemo, Hon Eng Rege and anyone in KRA in this group. Just how difficult is it to: 1: Buy speed cams. (KRA / GOK) 2: legislate instant penalties for overspeeding. (GOK) 3: Charge KRA with the responsibility of enforcing these penalties. (GOK legislation) >From here this looks like a stone that would kill several birds, KRA has the means to enforce financial penalties, speed cams connected directly to KRA eliminate a lot of beneficiaries in the middle and last but not least, these will be ETRs of sort, they can even pay for themselves. -- posted from my huaweii idiot in a msa malindi matatu at 180kph --- -- “The twentieth century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy” ~ Alex Carey ~ Tel No: 0x2af23696

Hi Nicholas, Yes you can provide/get Kenyan numbers via SIP. If you are a service provider and are seeking to offer as a services, you will need to buy two things 1. an interconnection gateway to other Service providers on SS7, PRI ISDN, & SIP. With this you can connect to multiple service providers, Orange will connect on SS7 for both the 020 and 077 numbers. Most of the others will connect on PRI (E1's), am told you may get Safaricom on SIP am not sure though. 2. A Telephony application service server (class 5 softswitch) with billing and Voice security Network Border element (NBE) If you are an enterprise/end user and are seeking SIP trunks with Kenyan numbers, I will refer you to our clients MTN Business, they can already provide this.

On the subject of Kenyan Languages
by Matunda Nyanchama 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

Friends, A while back there was debate here on the issue of language, expressiveness and global competitiveness. Kenyan scholars have addressed part of this through a recent publication of Themes in Language, Education & Development in Kenya. A press release announcing the publication is attached. Like yours truly, the authors take the line that when a language dies is like burning down a granary. Indeed, this is the position of UNESCO when they say: “Languages like genetic diversity are essential to all of mankind. If we are to allow languages to become extinct then we are witnesses to cultural genocide. There is value in diversity; the economic health of these people and their communities are connected with how they feel about themselves which is tied to their language and culture. Flourishing communities are wealthy healthy communities …” – Lindsay Robert Marshall talking about, Dozens of Aboriginal languages near death: UNESCO National cohesion can be achieved via other means and language expressiveness can always improve with growth of vocabulary. Finally, on this list we tend to lay greater emphasis on economic development compared to anything else; yet a high GDP doesn't guarantee high quality of life. Countries like Norway with low income gap disparities also have a higher quality of life and are a permanent feature in the UN's Human Development Index (HDI). NB: am attaching an order form in case anyone is keen on ordering the books, copies of which will be available in Kenya in the course of December 2011. Shukrani. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matunda Nyanchama, PhD, CISSP; mnyanchama(a)aganoconsulting.com Agano Consulting Inc.; www.aganoconsulting.com; Twitter: nmatunda; Skype: okiambe ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Be prepared to face ICT Security failures & know how to respond when they happen!
