Solomon, I was making hypothetical proposals. This means that I will get my policy proposals funding. We can however achieve what you asking even today. That I can respond after my "candidacy" debate is over in four days time. As a "cadidate", I will not focus on resource availability so much because this the usual excuse we give year in year out and return the entire budget to Treasury. So I will ensure an Intergrated Financial Management is in place and working. This will allow me to shift resources that are likely to be unused to more alert sectors. Performance of accounting offiers will be based on delivery of service. Remember the Open Government I said. This will ensure public participation where resources from efficiencies will be utilized to improve the same sector till we fully aligned to International standards. Regards Ndemo.

Driving Knowledge Economy? OnlineInterview with PS Ndemo Dr. Ndemo, My questions are still unanswered. I did not want to limit my points on the pointed out themes, thus they circled aroud: 1. Since most of these projects would require money, how can we bring The Treasury PS on board? I've noticed the Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta uses social media to highlight the various issues the government is doing, notably ESP and recently the budgetaary process. Further to this, can other line PSs be brought on board since the issues you've mentioned are cutting across the ministries? 2. The Medium Term Plan(2008-2012) of the Vision 2030 is on course, can there be a way in which we can know what has been achieved, stalled or is on course (apart from the expansion of Thika Road)? Perhaps we can be able to borrow a thing or two on how to work around the three pillars (Social, Economic and Political). In addition to this, how can the National Economic and Social Council (NESC) and Vision 2030 secretariats can also be aboard, to spell their aspects on the points you've highlighted? 3. I think it's practically when we engage with accounting officers (PSs) in various ministry to share ideas because this is necessary for taking sustainable human development. Asante.

These are fantastic ideas. Corruption and crime have also gone digital and requires multi-strategies. On another note, am sharing the advert attached and am sure you could be of assistance.

Wish to concur on ICTs in reducing corruption. Transparency International (Kenya) concluded circa 2007 that the institutions in government, that had significantly reduced corruption, had implemented various institutional reforms (where ICT falls). This is in comparison to disincentives through criminalisation/prosecution. At the time, the Teachers Service Commission was an example.
Those interested in more on this subject, see more here (my review on the Ethics and Anti-Corruption bill) http://wamuyublog.wordpress.com/2011/07/14/the-ethics-and-anti-corruption-bi ll-?-a-review/

Gilda, This is easy. When I talked of end to end government, it means we shall have a Public Key Infrastructure in place and intergrated registration system. From birth, smart ID, death permits to KRA all will be intergrated. This will eliminate all those vote when they are dead.
Digitalization of all registries will create traceability at all levels. See what has happened at Company Registry. Revenue is up from 30 m to 80 m. You will no longer have temporally registered companies with unknown directors as it happened with Anglo Leasing.
Open data means that you will track public expenditure to the last shilling. You will for example know what I have been paid and for what purpose. Of course I also talked about e-procurement and judiciary.
With these measures we shall have dealt with 70% of corruption and begin to restore trust in government. After this you can start dealing with the culture which accounts for 30% of corruption. People must see justice and fairness before you change systems. Change is all about trust.
We are all inherently corrupt and we are at a stage we can deal with the desease once and for all. The time is now and we must keep hope alive.

Ndemo.

Dr.Ndemo,
Could you provide us with substantial information on how you will use ICT to eliminate corruption taking into account the value change needed in our society? I believe corruption is the main reason this country is not where it should be.

Gilda
