way to go for this Kobia chap.  his mugshot looks somewhat familiar.  like he may have sat in one of my many classes over the years  - but I definitely cannot claim i taught him everything good he is doing ;-)

walu.

Congratulations are in order to Ushahidi's David Kobia for being named 14th in the leading magazine Fast Company's annual Creative 100 for 2011.


We must celebrate these gains being made by individuals who are putting Kenya on the global ICT map on the back of their intellectual and entrepreneurial ability.

Fast Company is a leading publication on business, technology, creativity and entrepreneurship which is widely read globally and is considered staple reading in Silicon Valley Circles and is available here at certain bookshops.
