Dear members, A summary of today’s discussion: • To what extent are county governments adopting ICTs? Some counties have adopted ICT quite well while other lag behind (statistics needed!!). Success in this area is evidenced by: - A few counties offering services via e-citizen. - Nairobi has improved its revenue collection through the e-payments system - Some counties are (tried) offering free WiFi to residents. • What are the bottlenecks faced ICT entrepreneurs at county level? - Lack of capacity - Lack of funding - Procurement issues • What are those positive or negative experiences that we can learn from? - Maintaining ICT solutions remains a challenge. - Struggle in coordinating with other departments that could use ICT effectively. - Some counties have passionate ICT officers How can counties better respond to needs of the ICT community? - Taking the presidential digital talent programme may alleviate issues faced - Provision of highly skilled talent in the counties. Open issues to be addressed: - What are the internet prevalence levels in the counties? - Do all counties have reliable access to the internet? - What is the implementation progress of the ICT roadmap in the counties? Thank you all for taking part in the online discussions, the channels are open..lets continue engaging. Do have a blessed evening, Ronald Ojino
