With the country set to move into a county government model, I'm wondering whether there's a framework in place (or in development) to ensure that the use of ICT in those governments is harmonized and that e-Government remains coordinated. My concerns are mostly about:

  1. The level of autonomy county governments will have in regard to choice of platforms for e-Government. For instance, will they be allowed to choose their own health information system to manage healthcare delivery or disparate systems for the collection and management of local taxes?
  2. The likelihood that different county governments may adopt varying standards for data formats, operating systems etc making inter-operability at the Government-to-Government (G2G) level difficult.
  3. How the transition will affect human resource capacity to support existing systems such as those electronic medical records systems running in some hospitals and whether there's a way of mitigating the risk of systems with no local (county) support.



Kind regards,
