@ All Obviously you guys dint watch these videos (posted here a while ago) about what Michael Josef had to say about "Innovations" and "Invenstions" given to Safcom. In these videos he covers the cases of M-pesa and M-kesho; he does not deny nor confirm that the ideas came from Kenyans but he said that these ideas are "out there" for people to grab. The Full Talk: http://vimeo.com/16454913 The Q&A Session: http://www.vimeo.com/16455729 Now here comes the question: The ideas are out there; YES. Many people have thought of it; YES. But what I find "peculiar" is this - if a Kenyan presents the idea that wasnt in a "companyX" focus; and he/she backs it up with research as to why it will work in Kenya;;; I know its not hard for a Multi-International to seek a similar idea elsewhere so that they pay for it there rather than dealing with Kenyans ;; But why move to implement after someone (e.g a Kenyan) has mentioned it ? Why not move before ? It is a simple question.
