The Kenyan government is drawing up an ICT master plan, following a report released last week by consultancy Accenture revealing misallocated resources, incorrect priorities and inefficiencies in the public sector's IT use.
The study was done in collaboration with Kenya's e-government directorate and the Kenya ICT board in order to assess the government's IT spending, technology, capacity, priorities and key projects.
The report found a mismatch between the funds allocated to ministries by the treasury and the amounts actually spent, with ministries struggling to disperse their IT budgets due to capacity issues.
