Listers,
I have followed this winding debate with keen interest.
Is there a way all these ideas can be synthesized into a concise manifesto?

Dr Ndemo,
This commodities exchange is the first thing I looked at last week just before taking the dive to research into agricultural engineering so as to try and bridge the gap between ICT and the agriculture sector. There is much to be done in both sectors and if any Kenyan developer company does not take it up in due course, I'll can definately have a look at later. I'm surprised that locally we have not published any papers by agricultural engineers, therefore it meant that I have to join external societies that have established the sector quite well.
And if anyone on this list needs an ICT guidance input to help them achieve their goals, please know that some of us are available online to try and guide you if it helps. The end game is that Kenya will benefit from such and could be the beginning of what we want to see in the future.
This call is to all kenyan developers/companies : To all those already years ahead of me on the development platforms, there is much that needs to be done, please stop wasting precious development skills and time on things that do not have national or regional impacts. So far none of the local developed apps have been able to do anything to achieve any goals on whether famine awareness nor even help farmers. Try and get involved in national development as side projects, hopefully the payoffs will be there in future.
Thank you.
Rgds.

Esther, We need to develop a commodities exchange platform. This way at least both the Media and other Kenyans can see that we have food and we need not buy from outside only to create a glut. This is business and lots of money. Any entrepreneur out there?

Ndemo.
