Row simmers over order on new Information, Communication and Technology leadership
A row is simmering in the Ministry of Information, Communication and Technology over a law that gives the Cabinet secretary power to make unilateral appointment. Executive Order No. 2 of 2013 by President Uhuru Kenyatta on the reorganisation of government that establishes the Information and Communications Technology Authority ( ICTA) gives the ICT Cabinet Secretary power to appoint the CEO of the authority without involving the board. http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/?articleID=2000092541&story_title=row-simmers...

@Brian, Alice, ICT is big business. Big business cannot happen without politics. And incidentally politics is NOT bad (yukk) because that is how we decide who governs and how to share public resources. Perhaps it is "the politician" who is yukk :-) Anyway, I have googled for this Legal Notice No.183 of 2013 on the Kenya ICT Authority but getting close at http://www.kenyalaw.org/ but not quite nailing it. Anyone who can serve it clean on a PDF? walu. ________________________________ From: Alice Munyua <alice@dotafrica.org> To: jwalu@yahoo.com Cc: "kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke" <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke>; "isoc@orion.my.co.ke" <isoc@lists.my.co.ke> Sent: Tuesday, September 3, 2013 9:58 AM Subject: Re: [kictanet] [ISOC_KE] Row simmers over order on new Information, Communication and Technology leadership +1 On Sep 3, 2013, at 8:56 AM, Brian Munyao Longwe <blongwe@gmail.com> wrote: Trouble in paradise?
