Dr Ndemo, The policy document that you floated here was well noted, inasmuch as it's still in the very basic draft form. I would like to point out that there is a growing number of InfoSec professionals in Kenya. On 10th of this month, the first ever CISSP exam was conducted in Kenya, hosted by K-90 on behalf of ISC2. 12 candidates sat the 6 hour exam, 1 each being from UG, TZ and Ethiopia. There is also the It security technical committee at KEBS which is discussing security standards. So there will not be a shortage of skill when discussions begin. Ikua
Quoting bitange@jambo.co.ke:
Muriuki, Thanks. We have four other policy documents that I want to use the forum as a test bed before we organize any public forum. We also have a revised ICT Policy that may radically change the status quo.
The growing interest in ITES may force to develop a number of policy papers that encourage growth. Remember that I have commited to a 10 percent ICT sector contribution to GDP by 2012.
Ndemo.

Ikua, Thank you. I have tried to have the forum discuss the important policy on cyber security but only one person made some comments. It is unfortunate that we focus on issues that fall within the purview of auditors.
Regards
Ndemo.
I think we are getting a bit lost on this debate on Malili. As far as management goes, there are the strategic issues, the tactical issues and the procedural issues. If we look out for every little matter of procedure that is being done, then we lose the big picture. This forum would do well to discuss the strategic issues that the Government gets into, and sometimes the tactical ones. otherwise we will soon be wanting to find out what was the gauge of the wire that was used to fence, and how many metres apart the poles were. It would be good to have a rough idea of the kind of infrastructure the government intends to put up there. Some investors would actually want this info so that they can be planning on how to take advantage of the opportunities that will arise.
Quoting bitange@jambo.co.ke:
Mr. Kwach, The Government has no problem with its neighbours in Malili. Indeed every local person supports this National project. It is not for Wakambas only. However, the peasants who owned the land where the park is to be built have a problem with the directors on the sharing of the money. They have taken the matter to court. You recall we discussed this matter and had it settled at a town hall meeting. I shall be wasting public resources if I kept on responding to issues that have been dealt with.
On fencing. At the height of Government land grabbing and encroachment. There was a policy to fence Government land. It will not take too long before you see squarters on Malili if we do not manage it well. Those who will invade may not be aware of GPS or any technology. Fencing or no fencing, I am between two rocks. Any decision can be criticised. We have chosen to fence. As always I take full responsibility.
Knowing this country the way I understand it, I shall be proven right.
Ndemo.
