 Welcome to ITU Telecom World 2016 from Bangkok in Thailand and I'm very pleased to be joined in the studio today by Sammi Hintomerri who is principal secretary for the Ministry of Information and Communications for Kenya. Mr. Hintomerri, thank you very much indeed for being with us today. Thank you too. Happy to be here. Now Kenya is very much at the forefront of innovation in apps and mobile payment. I wanted to find out what's next for Kenya. Well thank you for that question. It's true that we continue to lead in innovation and ICT in that part of the world, in Eastern Africa. But you can never say you've arrived. So Kenya continues to look at how to support the ICT ecosystem in order to largely around intellectual property. We find that's an area that requires a bit of attention to protect the younger innovators that are coming up. And how important are SMEs to Kenya's digital ecosystem and what could be done to support them? Kenya, like most economies, thrives largely. It has a very young population. 60% of our population is young and therefore opportunities for employment becomes restricted. So there's a lot of SMEs that have come up and the government is now working to support the various SMEs that have come up through various things. One of the key things that has happened is the Science and Technology and Innovation Act that was passed in 2012 that led into an ICT Technology Innovation Commission, likely to help regulate the sector. And this is driven by helping to coordinate the activities within the SME sector and also set up a research, a science, technology research commission to look for ways of generating revenue or finances to support the young innovators within the ICT sector. And what are Kenya's current digital priorities? Okay, we do have a Vision 2030 blueprint, which is largely driven towards creating a knowledge digital economy. So some of the things that the government is doing, and we recognize the government that ICT is an enabler in helping drive the various initiatives that we're doing. So whether you're looking at the e-government initiative that the government has put in place, we are currently rolling out a digital literacy program towards our 22,000 public schools. And by the end of our financial year 2017, we're looking to have distributed over 1.2 million devices. And this is all being used to help build that digital economy that the government is driving within the Vision 2030. Recognizing the fact that to then be able to deliver that vision of a knowledgeable economy, then we need to have begun to build activities within the economy that will help do that. Why is collaboration important in your opinion? And if you could partner with anybody, who are you looking to partner with really, I suppose I'm asking? Collaboration is very key for us. And we see that as one of the key things that will help us continue to accelerate our growth within the ICT sector. And being able to see it contribute significantly to our GDP. And even being participating in an event like this ITU conference, this is one of the opportunities that we find that will help us find collaborators that can support the government's initiative in growing ICT sector. One key area we see ITU supporting the government is the area of research, the area of capacity building. And that's very key as a collaboration for the government and growing the ICT sector. You touched upon your attendance here at ITU Telecom World. I wanted to find out from you, what's the value of attending events such as this? I think the value of attending such an international exhibition like this, like the ITU, helps us. First of all, we have, of course, an exhibition stand here. We're showcasing some of the innovations that are happening in Kenya. In fact, we've come with one of our two innovators, and we are confident they're likely to be able to scoop some awards at this exhibition, at the ITU exhibition. At the last exhibition, I'm aware that two of our Kenyan innovators won some awards. And therefore, this helps us to kind of compare what's happened globally and also get an opportunity to identify some key collaborators that can work with the government in helping develop ICT agenda in Kenya. Well, that's wonderful. Thank you very much for sharing some of those insights with us, and we wish you the very best, both here at the ITU Telecom World 2016, but also in the future. Thank you so much, and happy to be here. And thank you for the opportunity to be able to share the Kenyan experience at this ITU Telecom conference. Thank you. Please, can you check that out? Okay.
