Why not target government officials at a generational level. Think about Denis Itumbi. Fellow is Gen Y, open minded, and a beneficiary of the current go.ke favoring his/local talent. Few of us really understand how well he opposed foreign/biased interference in Kenyan affairs. This is one way to get a decent policy to build up local IT firms pushed at State House.
