"....The county plans to increase household connections from 10 per cent to 40 per cent, with the pilot project starting in Lang’ata and Kileleshwa in the next one month. Thus far, Safaricom has laid out about 1,300 kilometres of fibre-optic cable in the country. On Tuesday, Governor Evans Kidero said Safaricom would provide City Hall with the back-end infrastructure for the project and an M-Pesa platform for their electronic payment platform e-Jijipay. Dr Kidero said his government would also partner with Safaricom to decentralize its information communication and telecommunications service functions to seven major locations in the city....." Blessed Wednesday! The need for accessible, affordable, high quality internet access is actually being sneaked into the "modern digital" classification as a basic need in the "digital Mazlows Hierachy of needs" This partnership is presented as a trade-off. Hopefully this does not elicit anti-competitive issues with stakeholders, whose occurrences causes projects to shift tangent and there is still loss of public funds and lack of delivery at best. It is good that there is a pilot to allow a smaller scale assessment of the objectives they intend to achieve. It would be great if the resident associations in the said areas are engaged. In the same light, this is also where the ICT Professionals, Internet Society and stakeholders become resourceful. How is ICT Ministry and national agencies be involved or this is County business? What services might this statement mean?; "Dr Kidero said his government would also partner with Safaricom to decentralize its information communication and telecommunications service functions to seven major locations in the city...." In light of this, what opportunities would this partnerships/works "birth" for ICT players? This is the need for quantifying the productive angle as we speak of ICT contributions to the GDP; the direct jobs, entrepreneurial ventures, business tenders, side hustles Blessed day.
