 Front-office refers to the government as its constituents see it, meaning the information and service providers, and the interaction between government and both citizens and businesses.

Front-office implementation of e-government involves two issues:

Kenya's next election will be held on March 4 and the Presidential run off on April 11, 2013. This election is unprecedented and arguably the most important and complex as it will be conducted under Kenya's new constitution, which was promulgated in August 2010.

Dear all, thank you for your time and consideration!
