True Ali, at the end of the day, its all about vested interests, that said we have seen good progress in the Kibaki era despite the challenges and the competition among the agencies was good because it spurred growth and developement of the industry, i think we need to study this issue carefully beyond the opinions given in the article, i am concerned about having a monolith considering the lack of value system that might support such an institution. None the less , we will judge the governments performance after five years as such we will welcome new ideas.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting articles and there are definitely positives in the consolidation of the Agencies under one umbrella. My only concern would be to guide against it being another Government rambling bureaucracy. 

I would suggest retaining the corporate governance structures of the ICT Board, mixed with the deep experience of some of the performing mandarins in the other two agencies and infuse some private sector smarts to come up with a body that is ready to tackle its huge mandate.
