Thanx Bomu, Wangari, Rop, Barrack, Wambui and others for your reactions...the floor is actually open for belated reactions on previous thematic areas, just keep the subject line in context.
Today we share the feedback on the last thematic area :- Information Infrastructure as given below.
a) 86% of the respondents
felt that government digitization (Huduma Centers, eCitizen portal, etc) program has
been useful to a very large extent. 12% felt it was moderately useful with a
very small minority1.5 thinking it has not been useful.
b) 48% of the respondents felt that the digitization of
government operations has gone to the other sectors to a moderate extent. 30%
felt this cross-sector absorption of ICTs has not really happened while 10%
feel it has to a very large extent.
c) 52% of the respondents felt that the local content industry
has NOT been well supported. 34% felt it has been moderately supported while
only 8% felt it has been supported to a very large extent.
d) 70% of the respondents felt that the issue of information
security has not been adequately addressed. 25% thought it had been moderately
addressed while only 4% felt it had been addressed to a very large extent.
d) The following were mentioned as key info-infrastructure
interventions that have not been addressed/misaddressed:
Misguided/aggressive e-Content regulation maybe
counter-productive to local content industry. Security surveillance without
Data Protection Act is counter-productive. The Government Shared Service
concept still not effective, particularly at County levels. Expand eGov
Services to be accessible thro USSD, Improve the user-interface on most
Government websites, enhance cyber security and offer public awareness programs
on the same.
The detailed report is attached and we have until tomorrow mid-day to close this up.
best regards.
