Kenya: The ICT Wishlist (the future)
by David Indeje 09 Jan '23

09 Jan '23

[image: image.png] Dear Listers, Greetings to a new 2023. Before we figure out what it will be like, Mr John Walubengo helps us to review some of the hits, the misses within Kenya's ICT industry and at the same time what would a successful 2023 ICT future look like for Kenya? Key among them: ☑️We need to figure out, articulate, and implement what we want to extract from the global big tech companies ☑️We need to keep the momentum on the ‘COVID Digital Dividend’ ☑️We need a single source of truth or ‘dashboard’ to tell us where we are at implementing the many ICT-related documents. https://bit.ly/3Gj9LDG We welcome your thoughts on the same. -- *Kind Regards,* *David Indeje* *KICTANet Communications *_____________________________________ +254 (0) 711 385 945 | +254 (0) 734 024 856 KICTANet portals KICTANet.or.ke <https://kictanet.or.ke/> | Twitter <https://twitter.com/kictanet> | LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/company/18428106/admin/> | Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/KICTANet/>
