As we move to county governance, some interesting comparisons on transparency here: *CITY of NAIROBI* http://w3techs.com/sites/info/nairobicity.go.ke - Joomla - rated highly as a Web Content System. The site is better than nothing, but not much to write about in the links under "Town Clerk" Some links under "Town Clerk" have references to documents we cannot download today. http://www.nairobicity.go.ke/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=151&Itemid=280 As of today, no city plan published in the "Planning" section. As of today, there is no transparency -- no content published inside the "Procurement" link / section. Remember this is a City Council which loses well over USD 1M every year on dubious transactions. *CAPE TOWN* * * http://w3techs.com/sites/info/capetown.gov.za - SharePoint - Rated Highly as an Enterprise Content Management System. No doubt they invested well over USD 50,000.00 for SharePoint plus related software - Computing and Networking Hardware not included. The web portal no doubt cost CapeTown.gov.za at least USD 500,000.00 to * initially* deploy. On going maintenance cannot be less than USD 100,000 per annum to add transparency / efficiency to governance. 5 interesting links @ www.capetown.gov.za -- they have 20+ sections. https://www.capetown.gov.za/en/ServiceRequests/Pages/default.aspx http://www.capetown.gov.za/en/IDP/Pages/WhatisThe5yearPlan.aspx http://www.capetown.gov.za/en/SupplyChainManagement/Pages/default.aspx http://www.capetown.gov.za/en/SupplyChainManagement/Pages/SupplierRegistrati... http://web1.capetown.gov.za/web1/newcitynotices/AwardsNotices.asp This does not include maintenance of their in house ERP systems from other software vendors. :)
