Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of ICT, Dr Fred Matiangi said “In order to position ourselves as the ICT leader on the continent we must work towards increasing our capacity. As the government, we have embarked on several initiatives to realize our vision of creating at least 37 commercial ICT companies in the next few years. We cannot deliver on this goal single-handedly; we need the collaboration of the private sector and academia to scale, which is why the initiative between ICT Authority and Oracle is so important. I commend Oracle for their focus on investing on enhancing the ICT capacity of Kenyans.”

Based on the Kenya’s National ICT Master Plan, a strategy to make the country an ICT hub that is globally competitive in the digital economy, the MOU deepens the cooperation between Oracle and the ICTA to broaden the IT skills in the region and support the transition of Kenya and its citizens to the digital age.
