Now, there is loads of information that is becoming available about the system. I am sharing more that has come my way:
- The RFP used to source a vendor: http://buyersguide.ifes.org/procurement_pdf/1356124968.pdf
- RFP was closing only 4th January, 2013, yes..only this January
- An external party (US based) that seems to have been fully involved in the entire procurement process and i would imagine implementation as well is http://www.ifes.org/. See all details about their role in the RFP and others on their website.
- Project was USAID funded.
- A good blog with several discussions on this: http://iebctechkenya.tumblr.com/
Before we blame anybody or feel sorry for any party, Please lets do a thorough review of the ongoings. I am sure we shall then address the IT problem in this case.On Wed, Mar 6, 2013 at 9:21 AM, Edith Adera <eadera@idrc.ca> wrote: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:

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.
