I have always been a supporter of centralised information infrastructure for government services. Given our historical nature where ICT Board, GITS, eGovernment and each ministry and agency with its own mini-ICT budget, it has always been impossible to achieve a unified ICT objective within govt. Imagine being the CIO of Safaricom but having Marketing, Engineering, |HR and other departments buying and running their own ICT systems that have no relation to each other = disaster. Think Lands, Immigration, AG, Police with their own un-connected ICT budgets then you will begin to see the need to harmonize at some level - as long as you dont kill the speed at which some ministries/ depts may wish to move. walu. ________________________________ From: S.M.
