More ranting: Did the world bank have to bark so that Kenya could do this? I wonder what the budget and process to implement this website is such that the world bank had to be involved.

I searched for 'restaurant' to see what licenses one needs for that and it turns out there are no results in the database. Does that mean to run a restaurant one does not need any licenses? So I browse to one particular license http://www.businesslicense.go.ke/eregistry/index.php/license/details/id/11 and what do I find at the bottom? Our Government & ICT Board's running definition of e-government. Scroll to the bottom and as usual - 'Download and print'. Why isn't there an 'Apply For This license' button that allows you to fill in the forms online with all required information and have it processed immediately? Why are these things always developed in the dark without consultation from stakeholders? Such an approach will always fail spectacularly. -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks Other services @ http://my.co.ke Other lists ------------- Announce: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks-announce Science: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/science kazi: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/kazi/general
