Re: [kictanet] Registrar of Companies computerisation
by Titus Ngeno 10 Sep '11

10 Sep '11

Dear my fellow Kenyans and Friends, I am new here and I don't know the rules of the house. But here is my two cents. ICT board will have to come up with business registration database with aggregated information with fields on specific business identification number, name, business activities, geographical location. Then find ways to connect with Kenya social security fund and Kenya Revenue Authority using a single Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) coupled with The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics . This maybe be a little aggressive but with all these features in place we can even start implementing online registration where one can register a company in the comfort of their homes or at any internet café without necessarily going into any office thus more investors in Kenya and more wealth. But put in mind EFT online payment system will be critical to all this. In short to get to three days Registration it will take some hard work and aggressive implementation of new technologies and integration of Kenya social security fund and Kenya Revenue Authority for a start. Lastly there must be a reason why Rwanda is rank number 58 in the world as the best place to country to invest in Africa and Kenya dropped from 94 to 98.

The Sixth Internet Governance Forum 27 -30 September 2011
by Barrack Otieno 09 Sep '11

09 Sep '11

Listers, As you are aware Kenya will be hosting the sixth United Nations Internet Governance forum from 27 - 30 September 2011. The last forum was held in Vilnius Lithuania in September 2010 and it marked the end of the initial five year period. There was overwhelming consensus on the need to continue with the forum which brings together stakeholders involved in managing the Internet from governments, civil Society, academia and the technical community on equal footing. Kenya has been an active participant, our very own East African Internet Governance Forum and Kenya Internet Governance forum has provided a model that has been studied and replicated across the world. This is the first time the meeting is being held in Sub-Saharan Africa and we urge all listers to register, the meeting will provide a great opportunity to network with peers from all continents involved in managing the Internet. Registration closes today the 9th of September 2011. To register please visit www.igf.or.ke (Host Country Website) or ( www.intgovforum.org) Thank you Kind Regards -- Barrack O. Otieno +254721325277 +254-20-2498789 Skype: barrack.otieno

So Elimu portal has been down since the typo discussion and Andrea's piece in the Star, anyone know if this is at least an effort to fix the issues rather than kill the site completely? http://elimuportal.net/ Best, Ory
