Listers, This is indeed good news. We have a lot of hope in Mucheru and Victor Kyalo industry veterans who have indeed worked their way through the trenches. Most importantly we hope to see the return of a multi stakeholder form of engagement in the sector which we have been yearning for in a while. I think as a sector we might need to prepare a wish list for our new leaders and most importantly commit to work with them towards achieving their mandate. The reshuffle is timely still it comes at the end of the year and will allow us to start 2016 on a new slate.

Spam on the Mailing List
by Odhiambo Washington 30 Dec '19

30 Dec '19

Dear listers, On the 28th of December 2019, we had an unfortunate incident where a spam mail was posted on the list from an address that was part of the list membership. It would appear that that member account was compromised. We have so far dealt with the case in a manner that ensures no such does not happen again. Wishing you a prosperous 2020 and hoping that we will continue engaging for a better ICT landscape. [List Admins] -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", grep ^[^#] :-)

NEMIS abandonment by MoE
by Odhiambo Washington 21 Dec '19

21 Dec '19

This is a full page report, but it still fails to highlight what the problem could have been, and the possible solution. It even fails to lay the blame anywhere! We're that shallow. Assuming that all headteachers have access to a computer with Internet access, what then is the reason some of them have not uploaded the data? I'm assuming that it's a simple case of putting the data in an Excel spreadsheet with a defined format, which is then uploaded into NEMIS. Someone needs to answer the question of why the system is being abandoned. Unless this news update is simple sensationalism.
