She will brief us on how we can get involved in helping Government develop Information and Transactional Systems to benefit all Kenyans.

Dr. Joseph Sevilla of Strathmore University and other Technocrats will be with us to add value to our discussions / debate.

To demonstrate that we have Kenyans capable of developing the Information and Transactional systems our government needs:

The e-government discussion will be facilitated by Conrad Akunga, our own Kenyan Microsoft C# (an OPEN programming technology) Most Valuable Professional - Awarded to him by a world wide and world class community of software developers.

We will also hear from a Kenyan who is part of a Private Company LOCALLY building a Web System (Service) that various (not just government) organizations subscribe to in some part of the EU. He will be interviewed by another Kenyan guru helping build some HR (System.Web) at the UN in Nairobi. Floor will be open to any queries about how they and their teams go about building these kinds of web systems and services.

There will be refreshments sometime between 10am and 1pm. KARIBUNI!
