“Oracle welcomes and supports the Kenyan government’s ICT initiatives to drive Kenya’s digital future and create an environment where all citizens can prosper and succeed,” says Country Managing Director for Oracle Kenya, Dr Gilbert Saggia. “And as the country prospers in the digital age, Oracle and its Kenyan partners will also prosper as we support both public and private organizations in optimizing their business processes through the implementation of global best-in-class technology.”

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 commercialised 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.”

“For ICT businesses to thrive, we need to build intense business activity around innovations driven by strong policies on research and centre of excellences.” added Victor Kyalo, Ag. CEO, ICT Authority
“We need to create a robust ecosystem, if we are to achieve our mandate as the ICT Authority. Collaborations, like the one between ourselves and Oracle are the only way we will be able to achieve success in the sector. I commend Oracle for helping to ensure that teachers and lecturers are also equipped with requisite ICT skills. We need to increase the number of trainers and training facilities in Kenya if we are to achieve our vision of a digital economy. “
