@aki, digitized records = quick trial times + less corruption. I hope they digitize Kenyan title deeds soon On Tue, May 31, 2011 at 4:08 PM, aki <aki275@gmail.com> wrote:
So all the talk shows about ICT and investments in KE blah, blah have boiled down to this: The above lyric is from Malaika. Kenya has no money for innovation, just lip service and people earning salaries to put forward the wonderful ideas of innovation. Go find yourself an NGO and create your human-life saving app. Watch the pitfalls. :-)
From the KICTB website:
*The judiciary leading in ICT adoption
*The judiciary is leading other government agencies and ministries in adoption of ICT. This has been achieved through private-public partnerships with Google, Safaricom and other partners. Through a WorldBank sponsorship programme, court records are now digitized. The digitization process employs 200 young Kenyans in a permanent basis and has digitised 35 million records. In addition, the WorldBank donated laptops that has been given to judges.
Other initiatives by the judiciary include use of Teleconferencing in the court sittings and judgments. Through a partnership with Safaricom, Judges can now have court sessions between Nairobi and Mombasa law courts without physically being present. This speeds up the process and saves time and money that would have been used travelling.
The National Council for Law Reporting,Kenya ICT board, the National Assembly and Government press are now in a public private partnership with Google. The partnership sees Google digitizing all more than 5000 editions of the Kenya Gazette. The digital archive is fully searchable and is available by searching for the “Kenya Gazette” on Google Books. Google’s mission in digitizing the service is to enrich their Kenya search index.
