I am eagerly waiting for the report of the audit that is being currently conducted. This and the responses thereafter will give a clear indication of the situation at the CA. As for the letters regarding the request of funds, I do not find any issue with this. The only condition is that these funds must be accounted for and even better a report written about the official activities that were attended to by whom, where and also what returns are to be gained from the engagements. And further follow up until the intended goals are achieved. Our institutions need to be independent, yes. They are also inter-dependent. Having the PSs of the ICT or other Ministries does not have to be bad thing. It in fact can serve as a way to expedite decision making and enhance cooperation - basically doing away with inter-institutional bureaucracy.

Listers,

In Summary

- Surely, somebody must be made to answer for those letters. - This is the sector that gave Kenya global leadership in mobile banking.

PS. Its sad to see what is happening at CA because we debated extensively on this list the process that gave it its autonomy. I am confident the team at the helm of the ministry has what it takes to put us back on the correct path.
