KENYA 2.0 (Kenya Open Government Data Portal)

Baba Jimmy, AKA Ubaks has done it again, graced the epitome of greatness.He was today in KICC opening Kenya Open Government Data Portal KOGPD.

In short the country has gone online, literally. And this country, the country that finds favor in Fourth Estate for not-so-good news, has proved to be a techno-savvy little nation, and an envy to other African countries. So in KOGDP, you can comfortably access any information, which otherwise, would have been impossible due to bulk of paper work or lack of transparency available.



Your local chief's education level, Akiwumi report, the fourth agenda, civil job employment, your county, game parks and reserves; practically everything. You want to know how CDF is eaten? just click. Unga revolution, government's expenditure, census results...ad naseum.


It is hard to praise this government, but truth be told, this is a major milestone they have achieved, and i believe it will have positive impact to the country and East-Africa in general.


Viva Kenya!!!
