@ peter i thought Kenya ICT Board mandate is to spearhead Foreign Investment in ICT by Marketing Kenya as an ICT Investment Destination.........if what you are saying is true what is the role of The e-Government Secretariat On Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 2:18 PM, Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu@gmail.com> wrote:
From what I gathered when I attended the event Murigi and Co. has organized @ the Jacaranda, ALL government IT projects must go through the Kenya ICT Board, including websites. They source for vendors, monitor progress and implementation. In other words, KICTB is the IT department of the entire department. And this is not just on paper, all IT related monies from Treasury go to KICTB first then get allocated to various projects.
Therefore, if any standards were to be enforced, the ideal place would be @ KICTB. If any project didn't take off, KICTB would have all the details.

Talking about a site where one reports and gets a follow up almost immediately, there was a forum sometimes in 2008, organized by Tandaa, and I remember there was this guy who was working on reporting missing persons via website and linking the information to all police stations in Kenya. I do not know what came of this brilliant idea!

we could even have a competition, freelance designers to do a website for government, for the police, for all the government ministries with a prize equivalent to the cost they incurred to do it, they would still refuse.

Personally the look of the website is a distant second in the list of priorities to what one can do with it. I will happily choose an ugly site that allowed me to fill in a police p3 form and have it actioned over a beautiful work of art that still makes me download and print it!

*The biggest fault with Kenya’s government website is there poor use of justified text alignment. They also use a crazy color palette to catch your attention which again doesn’t work!*
Well, at least ours is way better than Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and Costa Rica but we still have a long way to go.

Man is a gregarious animal and enjoys agreement as cows will graze all the same way to the side of a hill!

It is better to die in dignity than in the ignomity of ambiguous generosity!
