@Haggai, this has made my day :-)   So now I can imagine this "wooii, tuko na sitima!! huyu mtoto ni mjanga sana...". Yet, the greatness of Ushaidi & crowd sourcing has not been used in the recent Tornado calamities in the US because the UN was not involved?  Now this below is the example of the mentality I mentioned in the start off the thread. It called brokers "attracting foreign investments in technology" and its a tried and tested formula. Ever wondered why Kibera needs to be mapped?

 

 

I think for me is to look at the developers industry situation in kenya over the next two years, and if things have not changed significantly then I believe Seychelles offers a good model for developers and companies. Who knows, the next "kijiji application" may be written for kenya by kenyans abroad and we can leave the kenyan technology dream on its eventual crash when funding runs out.
