Ladies & Gentlemen,

The Other i was listening to the CEO of Equity Bank Dr. Mwangi and he

Mentioned that the bank is in the process of setting up an innovation

centre for funding ideas at yaya and back it up with a Kes 1B.

This will really be a major step forward for young entrepreneurs with bankable ideas.

This just made me think is Finance really the major hindrance to spurring innovation in Kenya

and Africa generally as someone put are we all too much in to this culture that sees work as a curse

to really innovate.
