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
