On your question to phares, ... One word: INFLATION : - google it.

What does the digitization project have to do with inflation? Sorry mate, have to disagree with you on this one without knowledge of specifics and that we also don't know why the govt did not take up local loans to handle such a project? You guess is as good as mine.

onto the legitimacy of who is "Kenyan" and who is not... here is a quick one. Is a naturalized kenyan any less Kenyan than a kenyan by birth? sounds like double standards to me, exactly the same problem ailing the country. We either enforce a lock down on citizenship, and suffer the consequences, or open up knowing well the implications both short and long term.

Not sure how the thread has disgressed to this discussion of who is kenyan and who, so probably we should put the discussion up for another day. But, maybe we should also ask the BPO sector in Kenya how they feel about the digitization project since they put their investments where their mouths are. Anyone on this list a BPO and would care to share some thoughts?
