Talk to the Senate- 2017/2022 Priorities
Dear Listers Greetings! Kindly allow me to t briefly interrupt you from the turning off of TV signals debate, to make a short announcement. As you are aware, the role of the Senate is to represent the counties, serve, and protect the interests of the counties and their governments. The Senate Committee is currently developing its agenda and is keen on interacting with various players in the ICT community. Of interest to the Committee, is what needs to be done or prioritised in relation to ICT and the counties. This can range from issues of infrastructure, problem with implementation of legislation, acts that need revision, resources etc. In light of this, KICTANet recently called on the the Senate Committee on ICT leadership. To this end, we are honoured to have Sen. Abshiro Halake, the vice-chair of the Committee on the list. Therefore, we propose to hold a structured discussion over three(3) days on this list, starting on (Monday February 5th to Wednesday February 7th February 2018- next week). The aim will be to propose priorities that the ICT Senate Committee should include in their agenda to spur economic and social growth. Mercy Mutemi will moderate the discussion. The questions for discussionwill fall under the following broad thematic areas: a) What are the key ICT issues(challenges and opportunities) in the Counties that require the attention of the Senate? b) What are the ICT issues that need legislative intervention by the Senate Committee (E.g. proposals for a new law or a law that needs amendment)? c) What can the SenateCommittee do to strengthen its engagement with the ICT community on ICT law and policy? A report will be prepared from the suggestions given here on the list and shared with the Senate ICT Committee. We will also agree with Senator Abshiro on a future date for a face to face meeting. KICTANet has been at theforefront in pushing for effective public participation in policy making. Now that we have the opportunity to speak to legislators, we must heed the call and participate! Asanteni sana. And looking forward to a stimulating discussion as has been demonstrated on the list recently.

Dear Listers
Greetings!
*Kindly allow me to t briefly interrupt you from the turning off of TV signals debate, to make a short announcement.*
As you are aware, the role of the Senate is to represent the counties, serve, and protect the interests of the counties and their governments.
The Senate Committee is currently developing its agenda and is keen on interacting with various players in the ICT community. Of interest to the Committee, is what needs to be done or prioritised in relation to ICT and the counties. This can range from issues of infrastructure, problem with implementation of legislation, acts that need revision, resources etc.
In light of this, KICTANet recently called on the the Senate Committee on ICT leadership. To this end, we are honoured to have Sen. Abshiro Halake, the vice-chair of the Committee on the list.
Therefore, we propose to hold a structured discussion over three(3) days on this list, starting on (Monday February 5th to Wednesday February 7th February 2018- next week). The aim will be to propose priorities that the ICT Senate Committee should include in their agenda to spur economic and social growth.
Mercy Mutemi will moderate the discussion.
The questions for discussionwill fall under the following broad thematic areas:
a) What are the key ICT issues(challenges and opportunities) in the Counties that require the attention of the Senate?
b) What are the ICT issues that need legislative intervention by the Senate Committee (E.g. proposals for a new law or a law that needs amendment)?
c) What can the SenateCommittee do to strengthen its engagement with the ICT community on ICT law and policy?

Dear Grace, DearAll, Grace, thank you very much for your message and for taking forward our discussions regarding the Senate ICT Committee engagement with stakeholders. KICTANet list members, please allow me to introduce myself to those of you that I haven’t met. As Grace already mentioned, my Name is Abshiro Halake, Nominated Senator from Isiolo County and Vice Chairperson of the Senate ICT Committee. On behalf of the Senate ICT Committee and our Committee Chairman Senator Moi, I am very pleased to be engaging with you at this time as we develop our committee’s business agenda and priorities. As a committee, we are very keen to to align our work to the real needs and issues as well as to the opportunities that have real potential for positive impact for our country, counties and our people. Of course we will consult widely with diverse stakeholders, but having met with some of you, and having followed some of the discussions on the KICTANET forum, I cannot think of a better place to start than with yourselves. I look forward to “listening”, learning, interacting and converting some of these lessons and ideas into some strategic legislative and policy initiatives for our committee’s work. Thank you all and kind regards, Senator Abshiro Halake Vice Chairperson Senate ICT Committee Sent from my iPad

Good morning Senator Halake, Glad to have you on board. Just a few remarks I got to make:- - Maybe as you start off, now more than ever, would be a good time for the Senate committee to commission a robust in-depth study/review across the nation - (go on the ground). There, a clearer picture will emerge. If this was ever to happen, please ensure you bring on board such diligently good objective ICT experts as this is a purely technical exercise that will aid you in the feasibility study, and this list has plenty of jolly good experts. We need to do a comprehensive SWOT analysis sweep across the land to ensure we equally chart a robustly comprehensive ICT roadmap going forward. Let the overarching objective be to bridge the widening digital divide across this country, once and for all. This time let's get it right for posterity. I strongly think some studies commissioned in the past, could also be sitting somewhere.You could also benefit from these. Do engage C.A, and ICT Authority and others. Time to bring out these drafts and subject them to scrutiny. - From this commissioned feasibility study, let's please look forward to a draft blueprint as a product emerging that could underpin the ICT vision going forward, possibly some odd 20-40 years ahead, let this be subjected to a thorough review for refining and also benchmark against the best case studies around the world to ensure that we also tap into the emerging global technological innovations and best practices. - Huduma centres was one of the best ideas mooted and implemented, if it can be strengthened, improved and innovated further for cost effective service delivery, the much better. Please, can the senate look into how the product can be further devolved to counties that are missing out on the action at the moment.? IMHO , methinks the USAF fund could play a big role in this direction in order to ensure that critical services are accessible at the grassroot level and to bridge this digital gap. - Meanwhile, the academic centres are a crucial component in enabling us empower, train, mentor and equip the next generation set of innovators and service delivery personnel. As you refocus, this needs to be a centrepiece of your ICT vision at the devolved units. At each Huduma unit, we could also come up with a centre of IT excellence that can train both young and old at a subsidized cost. Again USAF can play a big role here.

Dear Hon. Halake, Thank you for your interest in engaging with the public on ICT matters. I have noted the Ministry of ICT has a program targetting MNAs to see that they have ICT hubs in their respective constituencies. The funds to set up these hubs are to be deducted from CDF kitty, about 1 million for every ward in the constituency. At the same time, Nairobi county CIDP wants to ensure there is access to ICT in the county by also building hubs (I think). I have not read any other CIDP so I cannot confirm whether this is ongoing in other counties. This is a duplication of efforts within the same area. Wouldn't it be more prudent for the national government to partner with ICT departments in the counties for the development of ICT? Wouldn't it make more sense for national executive to speak with county executive? Wouldn't it be a better use of resources for the two levels of government to work together on similar matters? In my view this is how devolution will work. The current set- up of the national government working with MNAs to further ICT looks more like decentralisation, which undermines devolution. I have noticed this strategy is not just with ICT but also with the Ministry of Industrialization (setting up industrial zones at constituency level while counties are also doing the exact same thing) . There is need to relook at how the national government is interacting with other players in the entire government structure so as to streamline all activities and avoid duplicating efforts.
