@ 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.
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.
