However, more will need to be done over the medium-term to utilise the full potential of ICT to drive growth and create employment. As a first step towards exploiting the abundant economic and employment opportunities presented by ICT, I have in this Budget allocated Kshs900 million, that is Kshs0.9 billion towards the establishment of a large Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) Park in Nairobi consistent with our Vision 2030 objectives."}
