Barrack, In order to support the new team they need to be present and so far unless I have missed it, they are yet to register their presence... Oh and sure lets give Sudan and any other country willing to have our pioneers and national gems, and even as we are yet to meet the MDGs or even Vision 2030. I am still feeling my way around the home front, but one thing that is clear so far is the lack of accountability in our civil servants, and the citizens willingness to accept less than sterling services... Oh and a fourth estate that's permantly in election mode although to be fair one of the major players is much more of an offender than the other, but this is a major disservice to the country...

True that. I recall CS Dr. Matiangi saying at the National Broadband Launch that he would host a get together for Dr. Ndemo and the rest of us to celebrate the good old days. And Harry Hare offering to buy the first drinks, I think I am still waiting. Maybe they are still looking for a venue? Matogo @SU can offer, others I can do the same @ MMU.

The lunch to say kwaheri to Dr. Ndemo happened last Wednesday at the Panafric Hotel. About 600 guests attended.It was a great event although I wished we had more time to interact. I however hope we will get more opportunities in the days to come to share several ideas on the ICT sector generally with our colleague Dr. Ndemo who will remain involved with us in various ways. My colleague, Mr. Tiampati, and I have received very useful support from the sector as we embark on making our contribution. We have settled down and are taking on several matters in the ICT sector. The gazette notice to fully establish the ICT Authority having been signed by the President, ICTA is now a reality and this brings together all of which was formerly the Directorate of e-government, GITS and the Kenya ICT Board. We have embarked on the immediate steps of institutionalizing ICTA including putting up a board for the same- which I hope we will do by end of the month and identifying the men and women who will help manage the Authority in its first transitional and formation days. I have already reached out to quite a number of individuals in the ICT sector to team up with us in various ways to help move the government's ICT agenda to the next level. I therefore hope that as we embark on the implementation of the national broadband strategy, review and clarify the national ICT master plan and take the first critical steps to enhance internet penetration (expand broadband spread, increase digital awareness, move the operations of government itself to a more ICT driven platform-including the single registration goal etc) we will continue the vibrant and hopefully much more policy focused discussions on how to strengthen the ICT sector in Kenya generally. We intend to better structure our industry contact groups so as to be more focused on each of the sub-sectors. In the first week of September we host a meeting with the ICT Executive Committee members of all the 47 counties in Kenya to ensure we coordinate effective interface between the national and county governments on ICT policies. I have taken very seriously a number of issues that have been raised about how county governments could affect national plans on deployment of ICTs- especially if we do not address the issue of infrastructure development levies, support to security and credibility of ICT infrastructure, last mile connection etc. We hope the opportunity to get together in the first week of September will enable us reflect on these issues and begin to construct a platform for effective synergy in national and county ICT policy implementation. We have received various representations on policy and regulatory actions necessary in various sub-sectors and are having the necessary conversations to address these. I hope listers have studied the Media Bill and the Kenya Information and Communication Amendment Bill both published last month and will be available to contribute to the Parliamentary Committee's discussions in September before the bills are finally debated in Parliament. The Access to Information and Data protection bills have also gone through the CIC and headed to Cabinet for discussions before they are brought to Parliament-hopefully by end of September. A national cyber security policy is being developed and we hope to bring together at least 3-4 academic/research sites to partner with the ministry on developing a framework for continued cyber security research in Kenya. There is indeed a lot to be done. There may be no consensus yet on how the list of priorities should be ordered but we are optimistic that with the establishment of ICTA, the Kenya government's approach to ICTs deployment will surely change (have better government websites, a better and more robust government e-mail system, institute a public communication policy, have government adopt a communication coordination mechanism etc.) I personally hope that we will not just be talking about plans but will soon experience actual change.

The Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet) is a multi-stakeholder platform for people and institutions interested and involved in ICT policy and regulation. The network aims to act as a catalyst for reform in the ICT sector in support of the national aim of ICT enabled growth and development.

Dr. Matiangi: Thanks for laying it out so clearly and your call to action sends an important signal of less talk, more action. It is refreshing to see continuity from Dr. Ndemo to Dr. Matiangi (I don't meant to personalise unduly) -- Kenya is again leading in the example of continuity even with political transition - #ThisIsNewAfrica Eric here On 16 Aug 2013, at 00:02, Fred Matiangi <[email protected]> wrote:
The lunch to say kwaheri to Dr. Ndemo happened last Wednesday at the Panafric Hotel. About 600 guests attended.It was a great event although I wished we had more time to interact. I however hope we will get more opportunities in the days to come to share several ideas on the ICT sector generally with our colleague Dr. Ndemo who will remain involved with us in various ways.
My colleague, Mr. Tiampati, and I have received very useful support from the sector as we embark on making our contribution. We have settled down and are taking on several matters in the ICT sector. The gazette notice to fully establish the ICT Authority having been signed by the President, ICTA is now a reality and this brings together all of which was formerly the Directorate of e-government, GITS and the Kenya ICT Board. We have embarked on the immediate steps of institutionalizing ICTA including putting up a board for the same- which I hope we will do by end of the month and identifying the men and women who will help manage the Authority in its first transitional and formation days.
I have already reached out to quite a number of individuals in the ICT sector to team up with us in various ways to help move the government's ICT agenda to the next level. I therefore hope that as we embark on the implementation of the national broadband strategy, review and clarify the national ICT master plan and take the first critical steps to enhance internet penetration (expand broadband spread, increase digital awareness, move the operations of government itself to a more ICT driven platform-including the single registration goal etc) we will continue the vibrant and hopefully much more policy focused discussions on how to strengthen the ICT sector in Kenya generally.
We intend to better structure our industry contact groups so as to be more focused on each of the sub-sectors. In the first week of September we host a meeting with the ICT Executive Committee members of all the 47 counties in Kenya to ensure we coordinate effective interface between the national and county governments on ICT policies. I have taken very seriously a number of issues that have been raised about how county governments could affect national plans on deployment of ICTs- especially if we do not address the issue of infrastructure development levies, support to security and credibility of ICT infrastructure, last mile connection etc. We hope the opportunity to get together in the first week of September will enable us reflect on these issues and begin to construct a platform for effective synergy in national and county ICT policy implementation.
We have received various representations on policy and regulatory actions necessary in various sub-sectors and are having the necessary conversations to address these. I hope listers have studied the Media Bill and the Kenya Information and Communication Amendment Bill both published last month and will be available to contribute to the Parliamentary Committee's discussions in September before the bills are finally debated in Parliament. The Access to Information and Data protection bills have also gone through the CIC and headed to Cabinet for discussions before they are brought to Parliament-hopefully by end of September. A national cyber security policy is being developed and we hope to bring together at least 3-4 academic/research sites to partner with the ministry on developing a framework for continued cyber security research in Kenya.
There is indeed a lot to be done. There may be no consensus yet on how the list of priorities should be ordered but we are optimistic that with the establishment of ICTA, the Kenya government's approach to ICTs deployment will surely change (have better government websites, a better and more robust government e-mail system, institute a public communication policy, have government adopt a communication coordination mechanism etc.) I personally hope that we will not just be talking about plans but will soon experience actual change.

Hello Dr. Matiangi, It is refreshing to hear from you and many thanks for outlining the way forwad. congratulations for honoring Dr. Ndemo, indeed that is the hallmark of great leadership, i am sure not all of us would have been catered for but the gesture is awesome. Indeed as members of the sector we look forwad to officially welcoming you to the list and biddding goodbye to our colleague Dr.Ndemo , more importantly we would like you to put faces to the names you put on the list so that you can tap into this vast reservoir as you implement the strategies you have outlined in your post. We do hope that you will also be able to show us where as a sector we can support the Ministry of ICT to actualise the objectives you have outlined. That said we are glad to engage with our cabinet secretary and we look forwad to your comments and contributions on the various policy issues raised on the list.
