Fwd: [kictanet] Proposed Kictanet's input into Kenya's Draft Cyber Security Strategy
by Brian Munyao Longwe 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brian Munyao Longwe <blongwe(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Mar 28, 2014 at 3:05 PM Subject: Re: [kictanet] Proposed Kictanet's input into Kenya's Draft Cyber Security Strategy To: Grace Githaiga <ggithaiga(a)hotmail.com> Cc: "kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke" <kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> Dear all, I've looked through the draft and to be completely honest I do not think that this document is ready to be considered for adoption. Among others: It is very scarce on *specific actions* that relate to implementation of strategy. It does not *adequately identify* the key stakeholders and outline their roles, contributions towards the overall objectives/vision. It does not set out how *resources are to be mobilized* towards achievement of specified goals/objectives. Please take a look through cyber security strategies that have been developed by other countries (India and Hungary are good examples) at the following link: https://www.enisa.europa.eu/activities/Resilience-and-CIIP/national-cyber-s… Even a simple benchmarking exercise from the above link would have led to a better initial draft. Let us not make ourselves look incompetent by passing this current document. We are far from what can be considered a solid strategy paper. More work is needed on this. I propose that the timelines related to completion of this document be extended to allow more thorough work. The team that has come up with this needs to be modified/expanded to include others who can bring in better strategic input. my two cents, Mblayo On Wed, Mar 26, 2014 at 8:09 AM, Grace Githaiga <ggithaiga(a)hotmail.com>wrote: > Thanks Ali.

Key Changes in the ICT Sector laws (Kenya communications amendment act 2009)
by Mwendwa Kivuva 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

On Today's Daily Nation news paper, Page 29. CCK has the advert on the changes that came to effect last year on ICT laws. It seems the Dominant telecommunications service provides has been redefined. Competition: On determination of a dominant telecommunications service provider, the threshold has been amended from 25% of the entire telecommunications market to 50% of the relevant gross market segment. The law also gives the Authority some latitude to determine other relevant considerations. ______________________ Mwendwa Kivuva, Nairobi, Kenya twitter.com/lordmwesh

UNESCO Project Reports
by Charles Oloo 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

@ Kiarie Good Question, but it only shows that you either did not read or understand the full report and only went for the figures. to say the least, by professional standards, those figures are even low. At the onset, we also thought it was alot of money, but when it came to the real work, looking for professional translators to deliver quality output in concise translation, editing etc, as required by the UNESCO, we had to sacrifice most of time in order to deliver. This aspect is well captured in the wiki report. In this regard we encourage members to get involved and participate in such activities in future order to understand what goes on. The wiki is and related iformation available @ http://dcom.co.ke/index.php?title=Main_Page Regards Charles From: Kiarie Wagitungo <wagitungo(a)gmail.com> Date: 2014-03-28 9:04 GMT+03:00 Subject: [ISOC_KE] UNESCO Project Reports To: "isoc(a)lists.my.co.ke" <isoc(a)lists.my.co.ke> Wow, All that money just to translate?
