[kicktanet] Key ICT Sector Takeaways from 2016/17 Kenya Budget
What does the 2016 Kenya budget have for the ICT sector? Here is what we picked <http://www.techweez.com/2016/06/09/ict-sector-kenya-201617-budget/>. Regards, Martin Gicheru
I am curious (and this is something I may want to hear out from peers / listers). But this is my opinion: - M-Akiba, eCitizen, Kenya National Electronic Single Window System, Digitize Government Payments, are very good wins for us. However also we need to also invest in secure and reliable systems also, I think as a country we have incidents of massive system failure especially when there is huge traffic. How hacker proof are these systems, also? - IPRS: Better than manual stuff, but we need to do more homework on privacy concerns around this and how it may work not to violate privacy. - Laptop Project and Konza City: Are we getting too ambitious perhaps? Or is it a good way to go for now (meaning where there better places to invest in?). - Telkom Kenya: Blank about how that can work out. Orange seems to be good at Data but is 10% more a better revenue stream? On Fri, Jun 10, 2016 at 8:18 AM, Martin Gicheru via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
