Click to read full article Over the past months especially during the last quarter of 2009, the Ministry of ICT has come under a lot of spotlight over the various projects they have handled e.g. CHOGM 2007 and the national backbone infrastructure. Today, the ICT sessional committee has stopped the further implementation of the project until the auditor general’s report on phase one of NBI/EGI is out later this week.
