@Phares, my bad, I know that I've not attended any of skunksworks meeting
discussions. However, not attending has not stopped me from following plenty
of what goes on and also realise that much more needs to be done. That is
why I try and raise the issues so that before we jump at any conclusions, we
have had a view and opinion from others who are also equally good at what
they do.
Going on VCs etc, as I wrote earlier, that we need a system that can take
something and make it different. VCs etc I have nothing against except that
when we are grooming people to think along these lines, we end up doing
nothing. I honestly don't know why you cannot see the pitfalls of such a
system. Trying to create Tech Parks may help short term
international investors to camp at the parks but for kenyans in the
sector the govt has not done anything to nurture or even groom the sector,
left it to "market forces shall decide your fate, its business as usual".
I've a question for you. Hope you had a chance to read my humor
article. Suppose a kenyan was to create a solar tracking system, which VC
would fund it ? Obviously supplying 1000 people with Solar power is no small
feat in terms of costs.
