The government has really invested in ict ,If there were projects to be prioritized they will be like which and which .Personally i think the sector can fund itself SIMON NZIOKI KATUMO 46611-00100, GPO NAIROBI, KENYA. On Wed, Apr 4, 2012 at 6:09 AM, <skunkworks-request@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

@Michelle, I have come to realize that lots of peeps in the ICT industry are doing what can be called "creative and innovative" but the problem is that they never make it to the main stream media, so most people never get to know about them, which can then lead them to conclude that nothing is happening.

I totally second that. I believe that there is creativity and innovation here locally, but they never make it. And if they do, wow!! That will have taken like ages for them to be noticed or even say "not-local" organisations noticing them. Like the guy who came up with the CCTV project straight to the phone. He did great. Did you know how many kenyan's were noticed for their innovations recently? On 5 April 2012 10:51, Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu@gmail.com> wrote:

Perhaps this article is tangentially related to the topic [ http://www.howwemadeitinafrica.com/in-10-years-kenya-will-have-a-substantial... ], especially if the "Future ICT millionaires" will materialize in Kenya. Martin.
