Yesterday I watched a documentary titled Facebook Obsession and I liked a statement by a former Facebook employee who said that "at Facebook you do not say I think or I have an idea, what you do is develop a prototype and then present that to your peers"Agreed! Let's walk the talk.

Former Presidents Moi was trying to sort this issue out with the 8-4-4 system which we keep trying to kill with no justification.Regards

Subject: Re: [kictanet] Of Vision 2030 and Misplaced Priorities
Let me not be mistaken that I am faulting Vision 2030 - thats the topic picked on by Gachagua - rather my concern is in the health sector. Nurses and medical officers usually take over the roles of doctors in many public hospitals , and will always subscribe medicine based on symptoms. The Labs might not be well equipped for diagnosis on various tropical ailments. As for personnel, we do have some great ones, though it appears our best have already been lured away , see related story http://allafrica.com/stories/201106060136.html_______________________________________________Unsubscribe or change your options at http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/jmugambi%40gmail.com
