Dear all,
Viewed positively, i dont mind transport being linked with telecommunication and ICTs, technology can actually be used to run a very efficient and scheduled transport system that would save us a tidy sum, the challenge will bringing on board stakeholders MOA, MWA, and getting them to see this point, this is not to say that i dont appreciate the current arrangement, somehow we need to move to the next level which is managing available resources and achieving efficiencies , ICT could then have its own Secretary and Transport a separate one reporting to an overall boss. Another queries, are we going to have officers in charge of telecoms , ICTs and transport in the counties?
Just thinking aloud
Thanx Grace for the clarification- the lawyer in you ;-)
I guess that closes the chapter - we have indeed been lumped up together with Transport. Expect the future minister (Cabinet Secretary?) of ICT to juggle between Matatus and the Internet...no prizes for guessing where his/her effort will be focused on...we have seen this before.

The way I would approach this would be to look at various services and then try to put the ministries in the relevant portfolio. Right away I can think of:
1. Health Services (includes human & animal’s health)
2. Educational Services
3. Communication/Information Services
4. Security Services
5. Infrastructure
6. Energy Services
7. Financial Services (includes trade, planning)
8. Social Services (this would include, sports, cultural, welfare, …etc)
9. Foreign affairs
10. Farm & Agricultural Services (whether it is cows, sukuma, fish, coffees, silkworms ….. etc)
11. Environment and Natural resources
12. Legal Services
13. Lands Services
14. DPM
And you may add, Question, is there need for a local government Ministry in this new dispensation, I am also glad to see that it is a maximum of 22, meaning we can have even 10 Ministries!!!
My thoughts on this cold desk!!

Waudo,
for the Ministry of Information and Communication, I would say leave it "as is"; Resist the temptation to clump it together with Ministry of Transport as has been in the previous era.

Date: Wednesday, September 1, 2010, 3:45 PMDear Colleagues,
The New Constitution proposes a maximum number of 22 GoK ministries and the private Sector is being asked for suggestions on how the present 42 ministries could be merged to form 22 or less. What suggestions can we have for the ICT domicile?
Kind Regards,
Waudo
