Dear Dr Ndemo
 
I would like to know a couple of things:-
 
(a) How will you stimulate and ensure that the biggest benefactor and user of ICT, the Government, and who in turn would be a huge benefitor to wananchi by availing the various services and benefits that you have expounded on, embraces/uses national ICT infrastructure and platforms optimally (even minimally to start with)
 
 (b) How will you align all government agencies to utilise single or common national ICT infrastructure/platforms to avoid the duplication (triplication and quadruplication too) of efforts by many to develop several similar initiatives each to their own end.
 
An example will make my point lear:-
 
- Government owns huge stake in TEAMS. How many government agencies are utilising or hooked to it and using it properly
- Is Kenya Police connected extensively (to itself and other key agencies)
- NOFBI: How many government and govt affiliated offices are on it and those who are, how are they maximising their use
- When will we see the end of web based email addresses (yahoo, gmail etc) as emails to key or all public servants
 
The point I am making is that the largest user of ICT is the Government, however the services it utilises currently run on disparate platforms with no common theme or link thus making redundant a lot of these platforms. Then some just dont have even the basic of services and others have the facility and do not use it all.
 
Your views?
 
Regards

Dr.Ndemo,

Fantastic! These are exciting times. We must all come together to make this
happen. As Government implements we must remain vigil and shout aloud when we
see things going wrong. We just must!
