Listers,
As much as we demonize CCK sometimes (okay, a lot...), I can't help but think that for what its worth, they at least come up with a realistic plan and set out to achieve them.
Lets compare that with the rest of the ICT fields, say the ones tasked with ensuring Kenya becomes a technology powerhouse. What *realistic* plans do they have, have they been submitted here for debate previously?
Yes, we do have the Kenya ICT Masterplan as listed here http://www.ict.go.ke/index.php/ict-masterplan/420-overview and I quite like
"... Goal 2: Kenya will become the leading ICT HUB in African(sic) attracting leading global players and generating globally respected local entrepreneurship and innovation..."
But, what are our previous figures and what is the target figures to achieve it?
I once blogged about it here ( http://www.a1.io/a1io_blog/local-ict-industry-the-biggest-story-of-our-lives... ) and til now, I have not got any solid answer and especially so from those tasked to achieve this 'dream'.
P.S I might have hijacked this thread, but there is some relevance...

Thnx for the share...I plan to read through over the weekend.
But just off-the-cuff, it would have been nice to see a high-level objective on Broadband Internet Affordability. Maybe a target that says currently it stands at 49% of Gross National Income (ITU data, 2002) and within 5yrs you bring it down to say 25% of the GNI. Global initiatives are targetting 5% of GNI but that would be too ambitious for us
Solve the affordability problem and you solve most of the others (internet/broadband penetration, usage, contribution to GDP, etc)
walu.
