@Josiah, thanks and hopefully someday soon I'll give a talk on a successful tech project I've done if anyone is interested, but let me first sort out the poison that has clouded my mind on various issues so rather than spend the time on developing am forced to spend on research. At least now I fully understand what is happening in depth in developing countries including kenya. Just knowing that smart and intelligent people celebrate World Bank loans and foreign investments as a measure of economic success and while also that economic policy cartels within developing countries and their external partners are fully exploiting poverty and mis-management to further debt is beyond explanation.In a nutshell, during the Anglo-Leasing saga, I remember reading something and those words came back to me during this research of economic issues in developing countries. Some Mp who was to resign/or resigned said that they found the system in place from the previous govt and were basically continuing under the new govt. This Mp was so right. If you carefully look at what is going on with World Bank this and that, it is the same thing but differently worded. Remember the Police projects and all that technology, I'm sure many kenyans even on skunks can put together such systems but it cannot happen. One thing I can assure you is that my research now shows the only way for any development to happen in Africa in core areas will be under loans or ideas that can be converted to loans, that import balance cannot change nor be upset by an export push. The rest I leave you to put together as the discussion is too sensitive to put on public forums.
Rgds. :-)
