@Barrack Otieno thank you and yes, I am with you, e.g For the last 4 months there has been this "new" e-Development Permit System
 at the Nairobi County office and if you have a drawing that you uploaded to their "new" system , the officer at the county office has NOT been able to "log in" and approve the drawing.
Not able to  log in for a day, maybe 2 days? or even a week COULD be explained....for 4 months? ??

Is it that the platform is not working as it should? Is it "power" at play between whoever??  Cartel shenanigans ? politics? what?

Anyone here from the Nairobi County office??

Kind regards,

@Judy Okite just go in for any service at NTSA or Huduma Centre. The Cartels that used to man the lines still seem to be present. There are all manner of system downtimes and shenanigans save for the part where you need to make payments. I think we need Public audits on some of this Citizen serving systems like TIMS, ECitizen and  the systems at Ports of entry.

@Mwendwa Kivuva looks like ICT is still considered a subset of Finance, we are slowly slipping back to analogue. The fact that we are still experiencing lines in places where we have automated functions says a lot.

Are you sure David that the national ICT budget was 15.6B out of 3.31Trillion? Because that would be pure sorcery. That is an invisible 0.471% of the budget.
 
And how much does ICT contribute to the GDP?  Between 8% and 15% depending on who you ask. Is ICT sector in Sub Saharan Africa the cow we are eager to milk without feeding

Listers,

Kenya’s Finance Minister Presented a KSh3.31 trillion Budget for FY2022/23. 
Key to note, he said the ICT sector is key as it has the potential to accelerate economic recovery and improve livelihood.

As a result, the ICT sector was allocated KES 15.6 billion.

How it was split:
  1. KES 620 Mn for govt shared services
  2. Konza Data Center - KES 5.2 Bn for Infrastructure development and KES 3.8 Bn for the development of the data center.
  3. KES 2.7 Bn maintenance of last-mile connectivity
  4. KES 2.2 Bn National Optic Fibre Backbone (NOFBI) Phase 2
