GG, Yesterday i went through another frustrating experience at the registrars document, i was told that it would take five days to get a letter of introduction for a Society to the bank, now 1 week to get a letter is abusing our intelligence. Well the current scenario notwithstanding there is need for government to incorporate document management system and basic entreprise resource planning systems tailor made for governmnet, before pushing this agenda i would wish to understand how initiatives such as IFMIS have perfomed in Kenya since this might be an indicator of what we should expect, we should also be looking at ensuring this services can be availed on cell phones since they have wide reach in East Africa. To answer your question on co-ordination i think we have competing interests among government agencies due to donor driven interests and per diem syndrome, if we can get a cure for those two problems we will be sorted. My two dollars. On Thu, Sep 15, 2011 at 12:18 AM, Grace Githaiga <ggithaiga@hotmail.com>wrote:

We appreciate all those who sent their messages of condolences for Evelyn Rono. Those who have not done so, can still send up till Monday evening. * ***

And today, we will continue with the e-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, a study that covered five Eastern African Countries namely Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi and Tanzania. ****
****
Under the issue of *Planning for Records Management Requirements in ICT systems, *we focus on the second concern raised namely *Lack of planning for records management functionality in ICT systems.*****
****
To guide in our thoughts on this concern, lets consider the following: *** *
- What bodies/institutions/agencies are tasked with management of government records?**** - Wjat type of systems do these bodies use to manage records?**** - Is there any co-ordination between these bodies?****
** **
*Question*
How is the lack of attention to records management impeding these agencies and boards from fulfilling their mandate to co-ordinate ICT implementation? ****
****
We look forward to hearing from listers from all the five countries.****
****
Have a great day.****
