Dear All: I stand to be corrected. The fact that the Fourth Schedule lumps Transport & Communications together does not in any way mean that you will have a Transport & Communication Ministry. From the policy perspective it simply means that that function will be exercised by the national government, not the sub-national one. How it is put together should be a question of how effectively they are aligned. My two cents. Kind regards Eric Aligula Magolo, PhD Programmes Coordinator & Ag.

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. walu. --- On Wed, 9/1/10, Grace Bomu <nmutungu@gmail.com> wrote: From: Grace Bomu <nmutungu@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [kictanet] Suggestions for New Ministries Structure To: jwalu@yahoo.com Cc: "KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions" <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> Date: Wednesday, September 1, 2010, 9:05 PM Do we really have a chance to discuss the Ministries. Under Article 185(1) as read with the Fourth Schedule, it is provided that the National Government will have a Transport and Communications function which will deal with the following: (a) road traffic; (b) the construction and operation of national trunk roads; (c) standards for the construction and maintenance of other roads; (d) railways; (e) pipelines; (f) marine navigation; (g) civil aviation; (h) space travel; (i) postal services; (j) telecommunications; and (k) radio and television broadcasting. rgds, Grace On 1 September 2010 15:58, Pamela <pamela@cardiacimplants.com> wrote: Dear all, 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!!!
