I saw somewhere - I think Business Daily - that the Immigration System our Minister Kajwang intends to launch will cost us 20Million Dollars. I wish someone could give us a breakdown on this...20x70=1400 Million KSH or 1.4Billion Ksh. Not cheap by any standard. Anybody who can shed some light on whether this includes HWare/Telecommunication Systems etc etc is it purely Code/sofware? walu. --- On Tue, 7/22/08, James Kagwe <jkagwe@KIPPRA.OR.KE> wrote:

Following the previous post about the KPA software system which costs > 200M (about 450M including hardware machines), I found the following interesting:

In summary, the system only uses Internet Explorer (which makes one wonder whether a requirements document was ever created). I can already see your eyes twitching and teeth grinding so I will stop there... And it seems like KRA’s Simba's system is IE only also.
I hope this area of ICT is covered in the policy so that Kenyans (whom I believe are very talented) are empowered to take up such projects.
Regards.
