@aki, You are quite like my brothers down here at the coast whose rallying cries are haki yetu, kunyanyaswa, mabepari and mabwenyenye.. All hot air really. So my question: Is there any product you have or know of that could serve these needs overtaken by foreigners that has been unjustly denied the opportunity to be deployed? If not then instead of sensational innuendo i suggest you get to work make PCBs, Computers, Their Operating systems, IDEs all in Kenya and then develop truly Kenyan products. Dont keep us waiting for pipedreams just because its Kenyan. On Wed, Jul 6, 2011 at 12:58 PM, aki <aki275@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Joe,
Thank you for responding.
I wish I had more to share but only have more questions than answers. How is Google involved with the electronic management and digitization of the Kenya Gazette?
The basic queries are as follows:
- What procedure was used by the Kenyan Govt & especially KICTB or Min of Information to declare the Kenya Gazette as a digitization project?
- Were the specifics of the project publicly announced, and if so where?
- What was the criteria followed to select Google as the final project developer and solution provider?
- There is a World Bank issue involved in this project, did the Govt act alone on such matters with Google?
Rgds.

Hi Aki?
I am interested in more details about this. Which deals are being done behind closed doors and how is this taking away from creative Kenyans?
Thanks
Joe
