ICTA, Is there a 2020/21 ICT policy in the works? The 2016 policy, seems to focus on transparency in consumer protection & electronic commerce, not on e-governance. Only one mention, connected to the Communications Authority. Possibly, the 2016 policy was drafted before the Access to Information Act of 2016. https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2001315355/access-to-information-act... If there is a 2020/21 policy update (upgrade) it should focus more on transparency in governance, aligned to Executive Order 1 of 2018. http://www.president.go.ke/2018/06/13/executive-order-on-procurement-of-publ... American tech giants now specifically require compliance with both US & local anti-corruption laws. They are discontinuing partners (3rd parties) who have bribed (or have been bribing), public officials. Even if cases do not end up in court, MNO's do receive genuine complaints (with proof) from their more straight forward partners. Evidence could be in the form of inflated contract prices (highest + not very competent bidder winning). The supply chain favoured by public officials dries up resulting in more incomplete projects (wasted funds). *References:* https://www.eacc.go.ke/document/the-bribery-act-2016/ If you look at all the large FCPA settlements handed down by the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission, most or all the settlements had to do with the company not knowing their third parties, and not knowing they were doing business with a third party that was bribing foreign government officials,” says KPMG Partner Matthew McFillin, who heads up the firm’s forensic investigations and disputes practice. https://chiefexecutive.net/know-your-third-party-risk/ On Fri, Sep 13, 2019 at 8:04 AM Barrack Otieno via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
