I'm glad to see a number of people who've read the book.... When stuff like what's going in in Libya happens, I understand - thanks to John Perkins. I learnt about the book from this link [ http://www.ennex.com/~Marshall/sophics/Kenya.asp ] which is also a good read if you love to know what goes on in the "global underground".

@Areba, @Muchai and others. Thank you for the insights and I believe the time has come on a key fact we hold one of the strongest points that need an input from millions of kenyans. If kenyans can take away the World Bank and Donor funding involvement from govt officials and politicians and pass on to say Parliament to handle with inputs and debates from citizens, we are going to be able to go to the grassroots levels and affect development there. I believe govts are there to serve people and not the other way around. You took the process of innovation,creativity and localization, hope and the claim to create and push our minds from us, now we are going to use the same energy and passion to take the decision making and involvement process away from you.
 
I'm going to put my development and learning time on hold for now, and am going to publish a plan and way forward on this matter because I now believe the tipping point has come for technology and skunks to stink the sh.t out of long term issues. Since we are heading to an election year in the months ahead, there will be no better time than to act now and be decisively heard. Which political party will take us seriously and implement the changes in the new govt? Will the corporate world and media support us because we need you. We must not waste time anymore on but be decisive on how we want the message to become loud and clear. 
 
Gentlemen, Ladies of this list. I'd like to thank all those who created the problems around us because the awakening is just about to start. Your thoughts and words are most welcome. If you sit on the fence on this one, then hold your silence forever on such matters.
 
Let us think and discuss on how we need to approach this matter.
 
Some thots.
 
Rgds. :-)
