Does the board's mandate include overseeing of all GOK ICT projects, or just advise? If it is, then they should publish such info with relative ease. ----- Original Message ----- From: francis.hook@gmail.comTo: eonchari@lynxbits.com Cc: kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke Sent: 4/4/11 1:51 AM Subject: Re: [kictanet] Statistics on Kenya Road Accidents If the ICT Board were to delve into this, then there's no saying what statistics they should NOT publish - cost of agri inputs, rainfall, tourist arrivals, migration patterns of birds? hmm? I think its enough that the board has part of its mandate to computerise different ministries/departments/etc and then at their level such issues can be taken up (min of tourism, KTB, Kenya Police, min of agric. etc etc). That aside, perhaps AKI might be a good resource for such statistics since MVs invariably have to be the cause of or be involved in an accident (pedestrian, cyclist, motorist...building, etc)...

Why not create a framework (with income as an incentive) for "Gen Y" crowd etc to create such content? I beg to differ.
