NAIROBI: Connected Kenya 2012 Summit enters its 3rd and final day with a task of coming up with an ICT Master plan. After two days of critical thinking and sharing ideas on different topics in line with the summit's theme, industry players Tejpal Bedi, chairman Kenya IT outsourcing Society (KITOS), Dr. Katherine Gitao, director of eGovernment, Harry Hare, Director CIO East Africa, Dr. Bitange Ndemo PS Ministry of Information and Communication and Mike Macharia KITOS representative, analyzed various guidelines that would build up this framework roadmap. Three issues came up, the private sector and the government needs to form an execution task force that will engineer all these ideas discussed during the summit. Secondly, the fiber cut issue should be addressed from the root level since it has been a major problem for years and third the private sector and the government should take risks in adopting ideas, a holistic commitment to work with each other towards capacity building. Katherine Gitao says Kenya is still fragmented; we need an ecosystem to discuss systems that will steer up the economy jointly towards one goal. This should be engineered from the education systems by creating a change of environment culture, do some knowledge management structure which will help build a strong capacity.
