What normally is the role if any of KICTBoard / Directorate of E-government given we are talking of govt parastatals here? Do they play any oversight / Quality assurance roles or its every gover dept to roll out their joomla sites and other ICT infrastructures as they please?<br>

stop blaming tools and technology for inefficiencies. Poor design is just that. If you cant secure your MySQL you think those guys will handle oracle* (or whatever else) ? if they cant sort out joomla you can&#39;t really expect that same person to whip up a nice UI +DB on rails or whatever. <br>

<br>I am with Wash on this one. a mere DB connection issue is an issue especially for a site like the IEBC. if this were election time i can see/imagine a politician claiming sabotage, that could lead to nasty incidents. it would put a whole process in jeopardy.<br>

<br>We need to be clear. This is our money used to fund a very important public function. It goes beyond the technology and we have to be very vigilant. <br><br>gitau<br><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="im">On Mon, Jul 30, 2012 at 11:42 AM, Odhiambo Washington <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:odhiambo@gmail.com" target="_blank">odhiambo@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>
