Listers, As much as we demonize CCK sometimes (okay, a lot...), I can't help but think that for what its worth, they at least come up with a realistic plan and set out to achieve them. Lets compare that with the rest of the ICT fields, say the ones tasked with ensuring Kenya becomes a technology powerhouse. What *realistic* plans do they have, have they been submitted here for debate previously? Yes, we do have the Kenya ICT Masterplan as listed here http://www.ict.go.ke/index.php/ict-masterplan/420-overview and I quite like *"... **Goal 2: Kenya will become the leading ICT HUB in African(sic) attracting leading global players and generating globally respected local entrepreneurship and innovation..."* But, what are our previous figures and what is the target figures to achieve it? I once blogged about it here ( http://www.a1.io/a1io_blog/local-ict-industry-the-biggest-story-of-our-lives...) and til now, I have not got any solid answer and especially so from those tasked to achieve this 'dream'. P.S I might have hijacked this thread, but there is some relevance... Waithaka Ngigi A1.iO On Fri, Nov 29, 2013 at 4:22 PM, Walubengo J <jwalu@yahoo.com> wrote:
@Wambua,
Thnx for the share...I plan to read through over the weekend.
But just off-the-cuff, it would have been nice to see a high-level objective on Broadband Internet Affordability. Maybe a target that says currently it stands at 49% of Gross National Income (ITU data, 2002) and within 5yrs you bring it down to say 25% of the GNI. Global initiatives are targetting 5% of GNI but that would be too ambitious for us
Solve the affordability problem and you solve most of the others (internet/broadband penetration, usage, contribution to GDP, etc)
walu.
