Is Mark Zuckerberg around?

Is Facebook founder Zuckerberg in Nairobi? I have seen pictures like the attached showing a mzungu enjoying *rech* at Mama Oliech's kiosk in Hurlingham with our ministry people. Perhaps, being a college drop-out he could lend his views on the so-called "ICT practitioners bill" or better still he could be given an appointment with Duale. W.

Fw: Africa: Facebook CEO visits Nairobi to see Kenyan Innovation in Action

FYI On Thursday, September 1, 2016 6:23 PM, News Release - APO <no-reply(a)africa-wire.com> wrote:  | If you cannot read that message click here. | | APO content is copyright free and can be republished at will. | | | | PRESS RELEASE | | Facebook CEO visits Nairobi to see Kenyan Innovation in Action | | Zuckerberg is in Kenya to see how technology innovation is changing the country | | LONDON, United Kingdom, September 1, 2016/ -- Facebook (www.Facebook.com) CEO Mark Zuckerberg is visiting Kenya this week on his first trip to Africa, using his time in the country to visit the iHub technology hub in Nairobi, meet with developers and partners, and explore how the country’s pioneering mobile money ecosystem is evolving. Zuckerberg is in Kenya to see how technology innovation is changing the country, learn more about what mobile entrepreneurs are doing with the latest technology, and find out how Facebook can better support small businesses, developers and content creators across growing markets. He landed in Kenya yesterday after visiting Lagos, Nigeria. He was particularly excited to see how mobile money and social media are driving commerce in the region and creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs and communities. One of Zuckerberg’s first stops on the trip was iHub, an Innovation hub and hacker space started in March 2010 by TED fellow and entrepreneur, Eric Hersman. Here, he met developers and entrepreneurs: - Edna Kwinga, Chief Human Resource Officer and Marie Amuti, UX designer at Twiga Foods (http://TwigaFoods.com) a mobile based-business-to-business supplier of fresh fruits and vegetables. - Eric Thimba and Porgie Gachui co-founders of Mookh (https://myMookh.com) a digital payments start-up. - Wandia Gichuru, CEO, and Makena Mutwiri, Head of Marketing of Vivo Active Wear (https://web.Facebook.com/vivoactivewear/?_rdr) an online women’s clothes store does most of its business via Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp. The transactions are conducted with mobile money. Zuckerberg also spent some time hanging out with developers in The Community Space and marveling over the ingenuity of BRCK, an American-owned, Kenya-based start-up that built a rugged, self-powered, mobile WiFi device which connects people and things to the internet in areas of the world with poor infrastructure. “Just landed in Nairobi! I'm here to meet with entrepreneurs and developers, and to learn about mobile money - where Kenya is the world leader” says Zuckerberg. “I'm starting at a place called iHub, where entrepreneurs can build and prototype their ideas. Two of the engineers I met, Fausto and Mark, designed a system to help people use mobile payments to buy small amounts of cooking gas, which is a lot safer and better for the environment than charcoal or kerosene. It's inspiring to see how engineers here are using mobile money to build businesses and help their community”. Zuckerberg later posted “I had lunch in Nairobi with Joseph Mucheru, the Kenyan Cabinet Secretary of Information and Communications. We talked about internet access and his ambitious plans for connecting everyone in Kenya. We ate at a place everyone recommended; MAMA Oliech Restaurant (http://APO.af/zOr0sJ) One of my favorite parts of traveling to a new place is trying local food. I enjoyed ugali and a whole fried tilapia for the first time and loved them both!”Distributed by APO on behalf of Facebook.
