25 Nov '15

Listers, In Summary ICT Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i on Tuesday said he was working with the National Treasury on a legislation that will support broadband investments through public-private partnerships. Dr Matiang’i said there were plans to leverage on excess infrastructure from Kenya Power, Kenya Electricity Transmission Co Ltd (Ketraco) and Kenya Pipeline, to supply broadband to rural Kenya. Facebook has also partnered with Airtel Africa to complement its free Internet initiative. The social media giant wants to beam Internet using drones to remote areas in Africa by 2016.

Access to Information Bill makes quiet progress
by Barrack Otieno 24 Nov '15

24 Nov '15

In Summary - Whereas governments are entitled to secrets, most developing democracies abuse this privilege to declare anything and everything a ‘state secret’ in order to suppress, control or simply misinform the citizenry. - But more importantly, rather than just releasing historical information, the Bill empowers any citizen to request any contemporary information held by state and private entities and expect a response within three weeks. http://www.nation.co.ke/oped/blogs/dot9/walubengo/-/2274560/2969520/-/xlyx8… -- Barrack O.

Coming Soon: Free Internet to Rural Areas (There is never a free ride)
by Ali Hussein 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Listers I'm really concerned about the continued silence of the Regulator regarding Zero-Rating of certain services bundled by telcos in this country in partnership with the big boys and girls of the Internet. Are we not clear how this continued silence and tacit approval of this practice that had basically been outlawed in their home countries is going to impact our nascent Internet economy? http://www.nation.co.ke/business/Free-Internet-to-rural-areas/-/996/2960730… We deserve some action from the Communication Authority.

Agency sets Sh250m minimum capital for Konza city investors

Listers Interesting article in the Business Daily today. IN SUMMARY Investors eyeing space at Konza Techno City will be required to raise between Sh250 million and Sh2.6 billion for various projects earmarked for phase one, a document from Konza Technopolis Development Authority (KoTDA) indicates. Investors are also required to focus on technology, engineering and innovation projects, with the demands meant to lock out land speculators. The expression of interest will close on January 30, 2016 after which evaluation of the bids will be undertaken, setting the stage for investment flows starting next year. This is laudable and commendable. I'm however looking for incentives and push for the local companies & startups who may not have the millions to invest in the real estate but are brimming with ideas and enthusiasm.
