I am watching news in awe where they are reporting that Kenya Ports Authority has deployed a Korean piece of software (Kwatos) to ease turn-around at the Port but now its not working well with the Kenya Revenue Authority software from Chile (Simba). Ofcourse both cost billions.

As the spanish-speaking chileans 'haga el informe con los otros extranjeros' with the Koreans to '¼ÒÇÁÆ®¿þ¾î¸¦ ÀúÈñ¸¦ À§ÇØ ÀÏÇÑ' , sisi wakenya tunangoja kusaidiwa. Mwafrika anajimaliza mwenyewe...as Baba Gideon would say. <http://uk.babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_txt>

The result according to one Mureithi of Kenya Shipping Associations is that port has now become a 'store' rather than a 'door' taking ages (14 days instead of 3 days) to clear goods because of the software conflict. Here be dragons...is this a kictanet sized problem...or do we just watch and comment later in another study on this discussion forum????

Time for an ICT Commission of Inquiry ???
