Untitled - Africa Centre for Open Governance

Beyond the letter of intent sent by the Government committing to join the OGP, the Government
of Kenya is required to prepare a country action plan that will detail what challenges it seeks to
address by leveraging technology to open government up to the public; what actions it has taken
to date to address these challenges and what it intends to do in future to address the challenges
identified. As the preparation and submission of this action plan are government led processes,
political will to commit to truly open up government is required. Unfortunately, this political will is
currently insufficient and successful completion and submission of the action plan is dependent
on continued effective lobbying by champions of open government in the public, private and
non-state sectors.
