Hi Walu, Add this to the list: The issue of laptops for school children should be shelved. Instead, the line ministry should adopt a computer lab type of implementation (N-Computing comes to mind) where computer labs are set, probably on properly designed 40-feet containers equipped with solar+electricity power. This makes more economic sense than havingeach child with a laptop which will only create headache on maintenance, thefts, etc. On 23 December 2015 at 09:09, Walubengo J via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
Listers,
You have had from the CS himself. Bring out the ideas so that we compile into one report. Dont think or research too hard..since that is already done in our V2030, ICT Masterplan, National Broadband Plans etc.
What we need to collect is really the quick wins..those #Magufuli_Moments...things that can make us feel the future is bright :-)
I have one more...
* Use tyranny of numbers (in Parliament) to pass the Access to Information Act.

Walu,
I would wish for better focus on the transition of our tech Resources from the universities to the labor force.
How can we manage that better?

Walu, I would like to see increased household internet connectivity especially in Nairobi's environs like kajiado & Machakos counties, more affordable mobile internet and deliberate efforts to bring more women online. Walu, Can't seem to add to the google doc, don't have the permissions. I'd like to see some direction on the Net Neutrality question.

Walu, For me its painful to see the differences in access to data between Nrb and the counties. The posta internet cyber cafes were the best thing in the late 90's. Maybe this can be resuscitated so as to being 'affordable' internet to the masses. On 22 Dec 2015 09:35, "Walubengo J via kictanet" < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Then I thought...maybe we should add on his inbox a few of our own ideas/ICT wishlist. Something for them (Victor+Itemere) to do in the first 100days. After that it is often impossible to make an impact.
Here's my wishlist
1. Use technology to get rid of the legendary Nairobi Jam 2. Get ICTs to Counties i.e. Kenya is NOT Nairobi and Nairobi is NOT Kenya :-) 3. Return the Subsidized Laptop program for University Students (Wezesha program) 4. Resolve the contentious Safaricom 'Dominance' Question. 5. ? 6. ?
Plse add your ideas before logging off for Xmas this thrsday.
regards.
walu.
