A Liberian Information Communication Technology (ICT) expert Jay Kesselee Fatormah has underscored the importance of ICT in the country's post war development and called on government and partners to direct resources to training in the sector.

He said many people in the country have not given attention to or taken interest in ICT because it is not exposed to the public as a result of lack of education in the field.

Mr. Fatorman said ICT plays a crucial role in today's technological world, and Liberia can not afford to be without a national ICT program.

"ICT here in Liberian is not really exposed as in other countries, and that's why it is the way it is. Only few people know and understand it," Mr. Fatormah told an Informer interview last week at the City Hal of Monrovia, where Google conducted a two-day Internet Camp for hundreds of business, media, civil society and NGOs representatives.

Mr. Fatormah, two weeks ago, launched his KESS Information System in the country with a call on the Liberian Government to ensure the legislation of a well developed, robust and comprehensive Information Communication Technology document for Liberia.

Making the call at the KESS Information System head office on Camp Johnson Road, Mr. Fatormah said if legislated, the Information Technology Policy of Liberia would avoid E-mail theft, corruption, bureaucracy in government, leakage of security and classified Information and most of all protect the disseminated news and the proliferation of services and cyber problems among others.

"ICT is an international literacy. More people need to be aware of it. It requires more education and training, and this is the challenge here," he told this writer.

The ICT Consultant said the Liberian policy would means alternating for an old age of manual system of running government and agencies to a more modernized and standardized system of good governance.

Mr. Fatormah, who has worked in countries like Ghana on a European Union Project and the Albania World Bank Project, is warned that in order to achieve this, considerable education and training exercise, must be carried out first in a country like Liberia that lacks proper and adequate education on ICT.

If this is not done, he said it would have a great effort in the process to introduce such a new and comprehensive system in Liberia, he was reported as saying.

KESS Information System is a dream comes true in Liberia after several studies that show that there was a need to bridge the Information Technology gap in the country after years of conflict.

The Founder of the KESS Information System said to jump start the process his organization has employed more than ten persons with local and international backgrounds and have already started providing ICT Services, including Capacity Building, ICT Policy and Strategy, I.T Service Management, and Business Alignment and Information Security.

The UK Professional Excellence Award ICT Consultant Winner, said providing innovative ICT solutions, Information System Audit, LAN/WAN Development and Management for Liberia would also be the focus of their capacity and education programs in Liberia.
