Members Commisioning of the e-government Secretariat, formation of the
ICT board and liberization of the ICT sector have all been fantastic
initiatives, however we need to strengthen Public private Sector
collaborations if we are to realise more gain, key areas that we may
focus on are Entrepreneurship training so that we may tap into the
benefits of new technologies before they are obsolete, we must stop
experimenting with technology and do business using technology, this
brings in another aspect POLICY, there is likely to be a paradigm shift
in the way businesses are run if we are to fully embrace
technology as a matter of fact some businesses might totally disappear
as a result of technology whereas new ones will emerge, the problem is
that there are lots of boardroom games that stand in the way of
enactment of some of this policies which must be dealt with may be we
need some online mass action, the future looks bright but it is
important to coordinate all ict4d initiatives whether fronted by
Government, private or public sector

Morning all,
Today we wish to turn our attention to what the Public
(Govt) is doing with regard to ICT4Ds.
>From my observation, there has been quite some impetus in
the last 5years or so on this regard. What comes to mind
in no particular order, is the commissioning of the eGovt
Secretariate and the ICT Board, the liberalization of ICT
sector through the Kenya Comm Act 1999, the gazettement of
the the National ICT Policy, the Privatisation of the
national Telco Provider and the initiation of the TEAMs,
submarine project.
It would be nice for members to share their opinion on the
activities and challenges surrounding the above and other
government initiatives.
The floor is open, we have only today Tue May 27th and
tomorrow on this.
walu.
