Grace,

What if the government would create committees consisting of private and public sector professional to conceptualize, procure (tender and evaluate), implement and maintain key government projects. Hoping that the professional from the private sector will not be overcome by personal interests, government would gain a lot form the ideas in the private sector and at the same time the private sector professionals will keep a check on possible personal interests on the government employees. Personal interests sometimes causes government employees to award tenders to those willing to oil their hands than those with the requisite technology and experience.

regards,
James

Good morning Listers

I have received a request from  the ICT Authority on the topic of Connected Kenya. 


Connected Kenya this year wants to explore the theme of getting Citizen to “Self Serve”  through provision of e-government services. The theme is “Bridging the service gap”


In the spirit of consultation, and in recognizing the valuable ideas from the different sectors of the community, the ICT Authority would like to get industry thoughts and views on what they perceive as barriers to the achievement of ‘self-services’ to mwananchi  in Kenya. 


What can government do in terms of policies, implementation of projects, engagement to further this agenda?  And what role does the Private sector also play and how can both come together to further the interest of getting the citizen to access services at the comfort of their homes?


We request that for the next five days, you kindly feel feel free to contribute and help the Authority shape up the agenda for this important conference. Phyllis from ICTA will collate all your ideas. 


Asanteni sana.


Rgds

Grace
