Gentlemen, we have not even gone deep into the system of KPLC prepaid meters and the backend pre-paid cards generation system. I find it very disturbing that whatever tech sector you look at, its the same story, World Bank financed and international vendors. While at the same time, the govt in the tech sector has encouraged a double standards policy. They can come to an event and preach innovation, VC and investor culture, we are all been taken as fools. There is only one thing to do: shut them out so that they can stop preaching these illitrate ideas. They are more than welcome to preach to some WB official or international vendors.
So, thanks to this wonderful forum, we have pushed questions until we have a clearer picture. The bottomline is this : Tano Tano....bei ya mwananchi is the real kenyan economy, so don't fool yourself that some VC or mobile operator will fund your ideas. These people in govt are only using you to create an marketing image to further their own policies. One day you will wake up and realise this, unfortunately a bit too late. This is another reason why you find that the amount of innovative apps are so scarce. However, please note that my view is not a professional vone, so please research well.
In my amateur opinion, the only time a VC or investor maybe interested in you is if your company has a certain turnover. Therefore, at this point you should take advantage of the partnership and grow.
For me, I think my next web application will be a filter plugin for browsers : remove words like innovation and kenya completely from all internet results.
Enjoy coding and lets see what comes up in the future.
