Dear Paul,
Many thanks for this, indeed it is a step in the right direction my only concern is that we still have some self styled consultants and brokers at Sheria house at the name searches area which begs the question as to whether we are heading towards digital empowerement, is it just resistance to change or is this a sign of mwanainchi not plugging in? Why cant we have basic services like name search for companies going online? . On another note i find the document to be very high level and i doubt whether the common man would easily plug in , yet i understand that 70% of the local populace is Jua Kali, how do we get them to plug in ? i write this from the point of each Kenyan having a role in the success of Vision 2013, any other lister who may be in the know can also enlighten me.
Best Regards

Full Master Plan Document Can be Downloaded Here..<http://www.ict.go.ke/docs/MasterPlan2017.pdf>
The government’s effort towards transforming the country into a knowledge based economy through<http://www.ict.go.ke/index.php/ict-masterplan/516-government-launches-the-national-ict-masterplan#>digital empowerment was on 14th February 2013 endorsed with the launch of the first National ICT Masterplan, Connected Kenya 2017. A five year plan that seeks to drive citizen adoption of the Vision 2030 priorities through ICT policies and initiatives, the master plan projects that by 2017 Kenya’s ICT industry will be contributing an estimated US$2 billion (some 25 percent of Kenya’s GDP) and have created around 500 new tier-1 ICT companies and over 50,000 jobs.
“As a step towards its realization, the ministry is working on standardizing business processes and developing sub-plans that will allow the delivery of innovative public services within government” said Information and Communication Ps., Dr.Bitange Ndemo“
Strong governance and increasing engagement between the government and private sector will help to remove barriers that would impede execution in order to deliver a society based on knowledge”, added Dr.Bitange Ndemo
Guided by the ministry’s policy objectives and to achieve the intended full benefits of ICT, the Masterplan plugs into the vision 2030’s social and economic pillars in seven keyintervention areas. Under the social pillar are Education and Training, Health sector, Water and sanitation, Environment, housing and Urbanization, Gender, Youth and Vulnerable groups, Social Equity and poverty reduction.
The economic pillar shall deliver on Tourism, agriculture, Wholesale and Retail Trade, Manufacturing, Business process outsourcing and financial services and the creative industry.
What began as a stakeholder engagement on the hypothesis of what had been adopted in countries like Singapore has taken two years, culminating in the birth of the ICT Masterplan.
“Indeed, the plan is ambitious and it is an attempt to infuse ICT s and knowledge into the Vision 2030 by enhancing citizen value. How? by availing channels that will stimulate the set-up of ICT related businesses and therefore employment creation” said Paul Kukubo,ICT Board CEO.,
At the core of this Masterplan are three strategic pillars that will be used as a measure of success. Enhancing public value through service delivery and access of public service, strengthening ICT as a driver of industry by establishing an ecosystem for ICT adoption and the development of ICT business that lead an understanding of the emerging market needs.
“The plan is really just a guideline and availing it to the public means that we are open for further deliberation and feedback .We intend to review the document annually to review progress and realign the same to the day’s priorities”, added Paul Kukubo
The Launch of the National ICT Masterplan comes just two days after a draft National Cyber Security Masterplan roundtable, a final review session for the country’s first document that seeks to establish a regulatory and policy framework in information security. The Strategy and Plan play a fundamental role in managing risks to government processes through securing the information assets.
