Government Information Portal and PMs Office site
the government through KICTB has launched the information portal www.information.go.ke. still no single form is filled and submitted online and The PM's office site is online www.primeminister.go.ke presentable i would say not the usual GOK sites.
IT looks great ... 2009/6/3 Steve <sikileng@gmail.com>

It would be nice if someone had done a quick punctuation and spelling check. A quick glance reveals at least 5 typos on the front page of the info portal (who knows how many more there are across the various subpages). Or is that too much to ask? - Chris On Wed, Jun 3, 2009 at 11:53 AM, Steve <sikileng@gmail.com> wrote:

Nice layout - i even managed to see passport forms are available there - nice!. So its a departure from the old html type websites into CMS i can see Joomla type naming schema. Another plus is that its locally hosted and loads pretty fast for me.
and The PM's office site is online www.primeminister.go.ke presentable i would say not the usual GOK sites.
Two things from my end 1) Its hosted in Chicago! why? - takes a while to load up. 2) The site should be more directed towards drawing folks to the site on a daily basis not a monthly basis. Maybe re-focusing the main page's content to what is being worked on to happen in the next day, week etc than a narrative would do the trick. HTH. Michuki.
I cannot be the only person unimpressed by the fact that these forms need to be downloaded, printed, filled by hand and then hand delivered or posted. If those sites are the benchmarks, I regret to say I am not convinced there is a coherent ICT strategy around service delivery to Kenyans being implemented across Government.
