@Washington

The issue here is not what we perceive to have or be happening but what is actually happening on the ground, with a new government in office many initiatives will disappear and new ones appear.

The next time we hear of these projects they will have been awarded and then we shall start literally bitching (for lack of a better descriptive word).

Government project, aimed at digitizing motor vehicle registration, judiciary case management and land registration calls for private partners; project involves transforming government operations using efficient database technologies, the internet and cloud computing services.

"

@Yawe,

If memory serves me right, the Judiciary case management system digitization is already in progress. Check the media.

I don't know what "land registration calls" means but I recall even the Ministry of Lands was already undergoing digitization when Orengo was there, unless someone was blowing hot air.

The digitization of the motor vehicle registration should be the simplest to undertake - discuss and enter into an understanding with the Australian govt, to support the project by helping Kenya adopt their system, get some staff trained and then let them implement the system here. I refer to the Australian system because it encompasses the whole vehicle registration, inspection, insurance, traffic offence management... and perhaps that would also help digitize our Traffic Police so that offenders are identified on the spot across the country because of a central database. In this one, I know the it would help to get some company make money during this time to eat anyway, but it would make a lot more sense to have it implemented as a govt-govt venture.

Back to my butts and tweets!

Hi,

As we sit on our butts and tweet (yes) the government is looking elsewhere for companies to help them go digital
