On this note isnt it good then that we continue being consumers of cheap gadgets from the west? Didn't we borrow the constitution, the roads design and other things from the west and east? I think .ke is just doing fine. Well done Kenyans, now some cheap phones we cant even engineer are being launched in our motherland. Well done our tech people, well done, nkt!

Our nation is currently incapable of large scale manufacturing to the desired scale...until the following conditions are met:-
  • CHEAP CONSTANT RELIABLE power supply (currently only nuclear power and a COMPETENT KPLC can do this )
  • Initiation of education programs to foster a new generation of engineers - from an early age.
  • Hi speed - reliable - mass transport (e.g. bullet trains) to take the workforce to where they are most productive
