Some fundamental questions here.1. As @brian notes why did we outsource development such a critical system to outsiders?2. If the RFP went out on 21st December and closed on 3rd January 2013 when was it actually developed taking cognizance of the procurement process of evaluation and award?On Wed, Mar 6, 2013 at 2:13 PM, Dick Omondi <Dick.Omondi@ke.airtel.com> wrote:
Perhaps there is need for a sector consultative group that will address
issues related to procurement of this nature related to the public
institutions; and that should by default include all operators and other
stakeholders.

This story and another on safaricom being pressured not to support the
transmission was in the public domain, as a sector, we should have
discussed these ahead of time.
these articles were in the public domain.

Stories that we may have missed:

smission-system-fast
Story was published as early as Feb 19th 2013.
I hope in future, departments like Directorate of e-Goverment launch
competent QA and IS Audit teams that could be more involved in software
projects at various agencies. It would be good for all of us.

“And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order of things; for he who
introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies,and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries . . . and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have actually had personal experience of them.”
(From Chapter VI of Niccoló Machiavelli,The Prince. Peter Bondanella and Mark Musa,translators. Oxford University Press revised edition,
1984, p. 21.)
