Hi Mugo,

I appreciate that I am coming into this discussion late but I hope you will accommodate me by responding to the following issue:

An issue was raised by the Prime Ministry during a round table forum with KEPSA where he mentioned that when visiting one of the Asian Tiger countries with a delegation from Kenya he asked how they had made it to 2nd world status in such a short time.

The response from the host was that the question is not why the Asian Tigers made it but why Kenya did not yet they had sent a delegation to Kenya in the late 1960's to learn how Kenya was progressing so well after independence at which point they picked a copy of a document that we (Kenya) were using which they used as their blue print.

From that response, it means that we had the right agenda 40+ years ago, where did we go wrong?

Sam,

Thank you. You are spot on. Our new website portal is the initial phase towards a Vision 2030 dashboard which will seek to pull data from all Vision 2030 implementing agencies and synthesize to provide overall status of Flagship projects and Vision 2030. This is work in progress but your intervention is timely. We shall be working on a dashboard system architecture which specifically includes integration with Open Data. We look to commence this effort in January.

From a Vision 2030 perspective, we will strive to be the significant contributor to the open Data platform. If you have any technical ideas on the Vision 2030 + Open Data integration, please forward to Emmanuel Nzai - enzai@vision2030.go.ke.

Mr Kibati,

Thanks for being in the discussion list. I take note of the open data deployment as a way of relaying public information to citizens. Also considering that that Vision 2030 flagship projects are quite a number spread out across the nation, how would you use ICT to inform the public on the status of these projects which i would closely link to the open data.

Regards

Sam Aguyo
