This project involves the partnership between what is undisputably one of the world's premier institutions In software development working with a partner local university to establish a global software certification. This is a global first. And it took us the better part of more than a year to negotiate and conclude this.
We want to be the Africa leader in software development backed by the highest standards. In fact it is our best software devs who need the recognition of a standard in order for them to attract compensation for their talent.
My prayer is that you take your time to understand it, as an eminent local entrepreneur who has spent considerable time studying and workin abroad yourself i am sure it can be appreciated we can benefit greatly from capacity transfer and cross pollination.
If you look up Prof Randal Bryant's CV, dean of computer science at Carnegie, you will realize that we are indeed privileged to have him in Kenya for these two days. His talk at Strathmore Friday was very well received by over 150 students from various universities who showed up.
I will provide more details later, and I urge most humbly that we wait for details and facts against which we can respond. This not business as usual and if we slant the discussion we may mislead.
My office tells me you have been contacted about the interviews and await a response.
Warm regards
Paul Kukubo
