@Kanini Thank you for the work you are putting in. My contribution is towards County data collection and using it for county budgeting and monitoring. We know that county governments are expected to provide access to and/or disseminate timely and relevant county based information in a simplified form that is accessible by the citizens as envisaged in the County Governments Act, 2012 and Access to Information Act, 2016. But we have not created a system(s) that collate county data onto a platform or portal that then the public and CSOs can interrogate and get a pulse of what is going on in a county. The Kenya Bureau of Statistics already has all the base social-economic data a county would need to develop the county budget and policy development strategies. The data has been visualised as the Kenya Socio-economic Atlas ( http://kenya-atlas.org/) that former CS of Devolution Ms. Waiguru launched. My belief is that if the counties could set up a department that collects county data and turns it into information of a portal, then we would be using ICT in a way that makes sense for counties. -----Original Message----- > From: "kanini mutemi via kictanet" <kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> > Sent: ?05/?02/?2018 08:24 > To: "deborah.wanjugu(a)gmail.com" <deborah.wanjugu(a)gmail.com> > Cc: "kanini mutemi" <kaninimutemi(a)gmail.com> > Subject: [kictanet] Day 1 of Talk to the Senate (2017-2022 Priorities) > > Good morning Listers, > > > Welcome to Day 1 of 'Talk to the Senate'.

Re: [kictanet] 1 billion to the DCI to fight cyber-crime

Good Morning Emmanuel. Your view therefore is that allocating $10m to DCI will improve the cyber > security profession? Where did I present such a view? But now that you bring it up - I will say it would certainly have the potential to do so if the funds were to be spent well. How much did send $300m on integrated CCTV cameras project improve on > security in Nairobi? Any arrests. What is the relation between CCTV cameras and advanced cyber crime? Anyway, since you have brought up the CCTV project, at least you will agree that they are seemingly delivering on their main objective - helping the security forces in preventing terror related attacks. And by this I am not just referring to AlShabab but also politically instigated terrorism such as the clip that was circulated about some armed people attacking the police on Jan 30th. Again why take out money from the USF for they new cash cow(cyber > security), when there is a ministry of ICT and the OP with their own > budgets? Let's follow the law to the letter. The President does not have a > blank cheque to decide where monies go unless we have now suspended the > constitution. Once more I can only speculate that the government is drawing from the USF due to a shortage of funds. This needs to be clarified and explained to the public. If you are of the opinion that the President is wrong, then go register your complaint in court. Short as written from a deeply compromised device :-) Your ignorance is bliss. Also, please just read through what someone else has taken their time to express before you get yourself triggered based on nothing.

Wangusi blocked from resuming office
by Victor Kapiyo 04 Feb '18

04 Feb '18

Listers, Francis Wangusi was Thursday barred from resuming his post as director-general of the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA), despite a January 30 court order reinstating him in office. Mr Wangusi had gone to the CA premises on Nairobi’s on Waiyaki Way on Wednesday to “prepare” his office for the planned return but when he officially reported Thursday, four men blocked the gate to the authority’s offices denying him entry. ** Looks like Court orders don't matter any more.

Re: [kictanet] 1 billion to the DCI to fight cyber-crime
by Adam Lane 03 Feb '18

03 Feb '18

my understanding is following the 2016 ICT Access Gaps study which laid out a clear plan to spend USF, this plan has subsequently been implemented, though with a slight delay. 70 sites or so have got network connection for the first time recently and almost 1,000 schools given broadband. It's decent progress, though still more to do (which might not get done anymore if the plan is just being thrown out the window now). Senior Director Public Affairs Huawei Southern Africa Mobile: +254 790985886 From:Mwendwa Kivuva via kictanet To:Adam Lane Cc:Mwendwa Kivuva Date:2018-02-03 19:12:48 Subject:Re: [kictanet] 1 billion to the DCI to fight cyber-crime The resent happenings are making us develop hypergraphia. Good questions Washington. We have not only lost independence of CA, but of every other institution we bragged as independent. Jaindi Kisero's prophecy has come. A country goes down the slippery slope if there are enough collaborators to subvert the law from orders of the Emperor. It rubbish the purpose of board oversight as Ali is always preaching. From what we have gathered so far from exposé and the leaked memos at CA, Wangusi is one man who rejected illegal orders. We fought so hard to have a functional USF kitty, and a USF board too which was to decide how the marginalised in Lamu and Lokichar would have comparable communication experience to those in Nairobi. But that is now water down the drain. I'm calling for the disbandment of the USF board for failing the Kenyan people. Watu bure kabisa. CA through USF is NOT collecting funds from Telcos to to fund policing. I want to posit here that USF funds do not belong to the central government. They belong to mwananchi who wants comparable communication as that experienced in major cities marginalised Poor governance is infectious. We are the average of the friends we keep. So depending on the region a country is in, gains can be eroded by the neighbours. It started with Burundi, and rolled all over the region (Ukiona mwenzako akinyolewa...) . Conversely, positive gains are also seen in the Region where democracy is starting to flourish, an example being ECOWAS region... Remember Gambia. Senegal and Nigeria and Ghana have really shown the world what true democracy looks like.

With Wangusi OUT (blocked from resuming office despite a court order) and the Fatcats now in control, I can see the whole of the USF account being depleted in no time, and without any part of it going for infrastructure improvement or anything that it was intended for. I remember a recent media article where the Ministry of ICT had requested CA to fund the presidential inauguration to the tune of KES 25m when there was actually a budget for the inauguration, which the article cited as some of the possible reasons Wangusi is being hounded out of office, because he declined the request despite CA sitting on billions in USF! Now that such a directive is out, and will possibly be executed with haste, my question is: 1. Does the law allow the president to give directives to CA?? 2. Does the law allow the president (or the Minister) to give directives on where.how the USF should be used? 3. Whom does the law give the mandate to decide on the USF?? For starters, the independence of the CA is OVER!!!
