@Ali, Totally agree...and am sure very few people can doubt the experience and the capability of the Ag. CEO to lead the new Authority. But I can assure you there are people who are equally against the Ag. CEO and are waiting for a blunder to be made and then make a move. So why not do this appointment the right /less contentious way and avoid the risks? @GG - yep something to pen about in due course. walu. ------------------------------ On Thu, Sep 5, 2013 5:12 PM AST (Arabian) Ali Hussein wrote: >Listers > >Sometimes expediency requires that there is continuity and institutional memory carry over to allow for a smooth transition. > >In this particular case the Ag.CEO provides an excellent reason for this.

ICT Authority (2013) is miles apart from ICT board (2007) in form, nature, scope and mandate. >> >> For example, ICT Board(2007) was an institution with an "administratively" limited ministerial scope -that is why other Ministries could afford to ignore them. Today the ICT Authority is an animal with sweeping powers that cut across Ministries and govt agencies. The CEO appointment therefore requires and is indeed given a more rigorous approach in the legal notice. >> >> What raised the storm is why the need to exempt the 1st CEO from this rigorous approach? My unsolicited advise would be for the CS to ignore the clause, advertise the job (open it up for everyone) - and still get (his?) the right man/woman for the job. After all, he has or can create the required "magnanimity" (opposite of Tyranny :-) of the numbers in the Board. >> >> The other route is vulnerable to too much and unnecessary litigation that may cripple the ICT Authority for years before it gets started. E.g Someone can file a suit to determine whether the contentious clause goes against the constitutional provision for non-discrimination.

On this subject, we really need laws that would guarantee capacity building, e.g. you can require that at least 40% local participation in every aspect of a contract where the principal winner is a foreign company. In the case of infrastructure projects, this will entail that level of participation right from conception, feasibility, financing, design, implementation, ... Kwani how else are we supposed to build capabilities?
