Good morning Good People
This is day five of our discussion on Aligning records management with ICT e-government and Freedom of Information in East Africa, a study conducted by International Records Management Trust (IRMT) and supported by IDRC . The study covered five Eastern African Countries namely Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi and Tanzania
Today, we still focus on the second theme namely: Electronic Records and Citizens. This will be our focus also for tomorrow (Wednesday).
Under this theme, three issues were identified and today we look at the second issue namely that Judicial Processes are Affected by the Failure to Address Records Management Requirements
Consider this:
· Have poor keeping of hard copies resulted in delays in the judicial process?
· Is the keeping of electronic records going to reduce these delays?
· Is information lost when digitization is taking place?
· How best can the electronic records be managed to ensure their effective use?
Question
What steps could be taken to ensure records management inputs to computerization and digitization projects in the courts?
Looking forward to more contributions today.
