Well, thats what almost everyone @ that event thought, the dude who was there from KICTB said the same thing over and over again; all other government IT agencies are under KICTB as far as actual work is involved, including e-government secretariat.

Unless I heard my own things. I remember thinking that, if ever I have any IT related idea I was to sell to the government, KICTB will be where I go coz the buck stops there.

Wesley, Murigi, Rad! care to confirm.

We are in need of more education on these matters and therefore plan more meets.

It seems that the KICTB is part of the E-Gov secretariat (through the MoIC) and implements E-Gov (KTCIP) projects in conjunction with others. It is certainly in charge of procuring / sourcing from the ICT industry. http://www.ict.go.ke/images/pdfs/6593719R_2.pdf

The KICTB is a Parastatal that pushes more than E-Gov. It is also building capacity in the Kenyan ICT industry even as it sells Kenya as a BPO destination.
