Abstract
The Government of Kenya has established a well-developed structure of bodies and committees to facilitate ICT/ e-Government development. However, the issue of managing the electronic records produced by ICT applications has not yet been tackled systematically. The report analyzes existing infrastructure and mechanisms that may enable development of a reliable records management system. Kenya National Archives and Documentation Service (KNADS) is the primary agency with legal responsibility for government records, and has divisions responsible for records management, archives management and documentation. The digitisation of the Court of Appeal records is a particular concern, as digitisation started before system specifications were developed.
