With the million cases at stake. Voice recognition services applied, cisco are bound to benefit a lot. Safaricom are only submitters, sort of like data provision.

@Sober, Cisco to benefit a lot but Safaricom NOT - Are you very sure? The company that provides the cars makes more money than the one supplying/charging for use of the road...

I wouldn't downplay Safaricom's role; this is the kind of thing that requires a large corporate with respect in establishment to pull through (read Safaricom or Orange). In my opinion I'd be more surprised if Cisco had the client directly.

@mukiha you are right on the money. Solution deployed in US, Canada, Europe, India, Singapore etc.
It seems sometimes it helps crooks with security issues not have to go to court, even just for visiting inmates; resolves petty offences in other countries, and with Kenya they'd like to use it for court appearances for High Court and Court of Appeal.

@selah, sorry to quote you here but I'm worried the "die-hard" thread may lead to loss of objectivity smile

Safaricom collaboration strategy seems to be gearing up What with Serena, barclays joining the Mpesa platform.Then there is the ongoing collaboration with Cisco in offering videoconferencing facilities The kenyan judiciary is already hooked.

Now the next frontier is the digital villages which safaricom has some pilot projects.


I embrace your point. These useful Products are making Safaricom look very attractive to me! Keep it up Safaricom!

I was reading yesterday about Apple computers and 10 years ago, Michael Dell of DELL computer no less, then on a roll, actually suggested the company should send cash back to shareholders and pack it in.

And what made the difference - Products, Products, Products - and good ones at that. On the other hand, Microsoft has tried and failed at virtually everything over the last decade - from music to social networking to search to content to mobile.

@Muganda
This post will not lose its objectivity. It is based on the fact that technology will eventually conquer no matter what. You fight it and you will have no chance to use your knuckles, ask telcom with the landline issue.
Teleconferencing is the way to go, it's being used in board meetings in kenya where the directors do not have to travel hundreds of miles to meet and make a decision in 45 minutes.

Virtual courts are not the most critical change that the judiciary needs as a matter of urgency. The following are the most important in my humble view:

1. Deployment of stenographers to record evidence as somebody pointed out above.

2. Digitisation of court records, leading ultimately to provision for filling of e-papers to the courts.

@Mpenzi agreed on your urgent priorities - stenographers, digitization. The problem is the government is hard pressed to move on its own momentum on its own priorities. Even this telejudiciary must have been an agenda of corporates pushing the envelope!

...also, don't forget that the courts are seriously understaffed. Improving terms of service for magistrates will attract many lawyers to the profession...
