And with that, Google has been scaled down and made a subsidiary of a bigger company called Aphabet whose domain is an alphabet http://abc.xyz ______________________ Mwendwa Kivuva, Nairobi, Kenya "There are some men who lift the age they inhabit, till all men walk on higher ground in that lifetime." - Maxwell Anderson

Board members should beware leaving IT projects to professionals
by Mwendwa Kivuva 06 Aug '15

06 Aug '15

The recent fiasco surrounding allegations of compromised Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS <http://www.ifmis.go.ke/>)passwords and attempts to embezzle funds from government coffers should serve as a wake-up call. The integrity of our information systems is an urgent priority. To be fair, Kenya is not the first country to experience IFMIS challenges. In fact, in Malawi, Joyce Banda’s recent failure to win a second term as president has been attributed to IFMIS-related corruption scandals <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_Hill_Cashgate_Scandal>. The objective of IFMIS is in line with most automation projects – to increase efficiency, transparency and accountability. What most people forget, though, is that automation by itself is not a magic bullet against corruption. In fact, if a developer blindly – or deliberately – automates corrupt processes, the end result is the enhancement and increased efficiency of corrupt activities. Wheeler-dealers can now enjoy the convenience of embezzling funds from their laptops, rather than having to walk to government offices with big brown envelopes in broad daylight.
