In my amateur view of what is happening in KE is a reflection of what is happening to all developing countries. They are all dependent on 99% imports and ever since independence, they all have the common factors of economic policies that have left us in difficulties, poverty and very slow growth rates. The end result was that such policies made us all entreprenuers of goods, not creations nor developments. We now only have the mental capacities to create more profits based on external goods and services. We are not part of a global village, as we do not contribute anywhere globally. We are big buyers in the global village.

 

However, to put this thread to a further discussion, I'd like to get an opinion from e.g. Safaricom as a Data Centre Operator because I believe they have the technical and infrastructure capacity to own the cloud process and make it available to kenyans. Was Safaricom unable to purchase a hosting solution to match govt requirements? This will help explain the domino effects of hosting externally.

 

Thank you.
