I once was in such a position early in 2008,persued the case,had threats from all corners,even sought some help from the very offices many of us talk about. but guess what..one of the guys sent to me told me that you never give the gold to the miners.And tried to persuade me, to stop caring about the matter and instead try to come up with something more advanced than what I had at the time.he even told me about diplomatic arm twisting a phrase i didnt understand untill much later. and before I knew it, the system was sold off to a UN body in phillipines.skunkers I was here and many of you were here. I think salvation will only come if there is an NGO that can fund innovations/ideas independently. On Tue, Nov 23, 2010 at 10:59 AM, kris njoroge <krsnjo@gmail.com> wrote:
Question is, what constitutes an original idea? Is it something that has never been done in Kenya or the world? For example the mobile payment systems that all the mobile companies use in Kenya had you stepped up to Queen B and they told you blah blah they do it and the others copy it with modifications or enhancements to your idea is that theft?
There are guys who have spent some time out of the country and have seen shows on TV that they come and try and sell as there ideas what would be the outcome then if they did it but did not pay up?

@Watchman, just elaborate how this would begin. Queen Bee et al can afford to copy paste right left and center. with an Utado attitude!

"This is Kenya" Simply says you've given up. I say let's get our asses working on what we want Kenya to be! stop being having a defeatist attitude.
If the rest of Kenya can perform without us, why can't we perform without them?
Why can't we. a Group of Like minded individuals who have our differences come together and recreate what this society is?
