Hi,

I rest my case on this issue, the ICT Board is a monolith, Try reading this... (pdf file), as I feared it is mandated to do anything and everything under the sun that could be called ICT which includes your microwave oven and copier.

Functions of Kenya ICT Board
The core functions of Kenya ICT Board as documented in the Kenya Gazette Legal Notice No 26 of the May 2007:
•  To advice the government on all relevant matters pertaining to development, coordination  (remember the PM post) and promotion of ICT industries in the country. 
•  Promote both locally and internationally the opportunities for investments in ICT technology
•  Facilitate and manage ICT industrial incubation parks and technology parks together with associated facilities on sites, estates and land.
•  Partner with agents within and without the country to carry out such functions as it may consider necessary.
•  To transform and empower society through deployment and use of ICTs.
•  Carry out any other activity to promote and develop ICT products and services.

Have a restful Easter as we await the limited range 4G, yes you guessed it I still have a 3G issue and I am in Nairobi.
