The government of Kenya like other Governments around the world is pursuing strategic objectives designed to enhance the effectiveness of government programmes and operations, promote good governance, transparency and accountability through the use of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs). This paper seeks to answer three basic questions. What is involved in managing electronic records in an e-government context? What are the risks of not managing e-records as a strategic public resource? What is the future of e-records management in Kenya? This paper is a review paper focusing on the situation in Kenya, drawing from other cases in Africa and other parts of the world.
