Mwendwa, It looks like infrastructure spend. For that we should look to the development budget for a percentage calculation. 3.3T has recurrent expenditure and debt service. Regards, James On Thu, Apr 7, 2022 at 6:07 PM Mwendwa Kivuva via KICTANet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
Are you sure David that the national ICT budget was 15.6B out of 3.31Trillion? Because that would be pure sorcery. That is an invisible 0.471% of the budget.
And how much does ICT contribute to the GDP? Between 8% and 15% depending on who you ask. Is ICT sector in Sub Saharan Africa the cow we are eager to milk without feeding

Listers,
