Thika Road Version 2.0
by Edith Adera 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

Grace, Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Gaitho raises very pertinent issues and reiterates the structural challenges with Thilka Road. Eng. Kidenda will do service to this country by explaining to Kenyans how these defects and issues will be addressed not to try and convince us that we have the best road...not for those who have ventured outside their mother's kitchen. Can we solicit specific responses from Eng. Kidenda about what next to address the issues and reduce road carnage on that road? Version 2.0 of Thika road should include some smart transport solutions (ICTs). I look forward to his reaction to the article.

Youth Access to Government Procurement Opportunities
by John Matogo 26 Jun '12

26 Jun '12

Dear colleagues, I would like to bring to bring to your attention the Youth Access to Government Procurement Opportunities meeting that is being organised by the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports on 29th June at KICC. (See attached notice) Some of you are involved in mentoring and working with young entrepreneurs, please pass this message to them and encourage them to attend. Many times we, the youth, complain about not having opportunities to access government tenders. I believe this is an initiative by Government to reach out to us. Let us embrace the opportunity to learn and participate in the government procurement processes. Kindly share. Best. -- Regards, John Matogo Manager Incubation Centre, @iBizAfrica Strathmore University P.O.

e-Government Online Portal
by Esther Wanjau 26 Jun '12

26 Jun '12

Dear All, The Directorate of e-Government has developed an internet portal to facilitate citizen access to integrated public services using a computer, PDA or phone. A catalogue of government services has been developed. It is intended that this simplified method of accessing a wide variety of government services will enhance service delivery and reduce opportunities for graft. The link to this service is www.kenya.go.ke or www.hudumakenya.go.ke. This portal also allows you to personalize the services that you require so that when you log on to the portal you only see the services that you want. The same applies to the links one visits on a regular basis including social networking sites. One can add and remove services at will. To do this one must first create an account. Try it out! Your feedback will be highly appreciated. Esther Wanjau Directorate of e-Government Presidency & Cabinet Affairs Office email: esther.wanjau(a)kenya.go.ke
