In the plan, the Kenyan government aims to have up to 90 percent of the citizens connected to the internet, improve access to public services through ICT, create a knowledge-based economy and make Kenya an ICT hub.

The panelist said that for Kenya to achieve the masterplan goals, innovation should remain the key driver in all sectors of the economy, with education playing a pivotal role.
