Nyaki, 10days as usual. Maybe MM should adopt the format Day x of 10, on the subject line to remind listers... walu. --- On Fri, 10/15/10, Catherine Adeya <elizaslider@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Catherine Adeya <elizaslider@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [kictanet] The big Kwaheri: reflecting on 10 years on the MJ 10yr safari and his-tory - day 4 To: jwalu@yahoo.com Cc: "KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions" <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> Date: Friday, October 15, 2010, 5:25 PM Muriuki, My point exactly, if he responds now it would be too soon. He can clarify some stuff at the tail-end.What is the lifespan of this discussion so we know what the tail-end means?

We expect that the discussion can help unravel and give us a 360 degree view and what drives MJ and whether this can be replicated so that we see other corporates entering the market and revitalizing it like MJ did . While this is our view which we are researching – perhaps it could be beneficial for some clarification from MJ at some point towards the tail end of the debate but certainly not now. An early contribution will influence the course of the rich discussion – ama ? cheers Muriuki Mureithi From: kictanet-bounces+mureithi=summitstrategies.co.ke@lists.kictanet.or.ke [mailto:kictanet-bounces+mureithi=summitstrategies.co.ke@lists.kictanet.or.ke] On Behalf Of Catherine Adeya Sent: 14 October 2010 18:39 To: mureithi@summitstrategies.co.ke Cc: KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions Subject: Re: [kictanet] The big Kwaheri: reflecting on 10 years on the MJ 10yr safari and his-tory - day 4 Gilda, On the contrary I do not think MJ should answer at this stage. Research of this nature can take a life of its own and be the beginnings of a great book. I think we should allow Muriuki time to gather views (without input from MJ at this stage), collate them and maybe share with him for feedback...ama?

Joe,
thinking about what else MJ can do for this nation I honestly believe he can
be a very good candidate for the GOVERNOR OF NAIROBI, reason being he is
known by all Nairobi-ans, he is trusted by many because more people bank with
MJ through Mpesa than they do with banks and if we can agree the governor of
Nairobi is not a political seat then MJ would have me vote..can he be asked
to seriously consider that proposal.

Well said Muriuki,
I think the biggest need in Kenya today and Africa as a whole is jobs. One of
the challenges of this is managing the very young teams with so much energy
and it is clear MJ was able to do this well in Safaricom. Can he now take up
a challenge of setting up or taking over a business that can scale to employ
over 100,000 full time workers within 5 years. I know you are probably asking
what they will be doing. This can be the subject of another forum. He has
been able to show he can generate US$ 1billion+ this is a great milestone for
Kenya and Africa. Hiring 100,000 Staff in an institution will be
another. Wal-Mart for example has a workforce of over 2.2 million (see
below).
I would propose that we as lister come up with potential businesses we can
acquire and get MJ to run and create these number of jobs. Hope this is not
too utopian
Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT) will increase its workforce by 36% in the next five
years to take advantage of growing international demand. The new hires will
take the company's headcount to 3 million, from 2.2 million now, Susan
Chambers, executive vice president for human resources, said at a conference
in India.

It can’t be more exciting . we set out to get a 360 degree view
of MJ and now Dr Ndemo has given as a bird’s eye view    of   MJ  and
how he
develops and executes strategy for Safaricom machine at the board. It is also
noteworthy as Dr Ndemo mentions that the political terrain is extremely
slippery
but one must wiggle through to remain relevant . How MJ has done it through
KANU , NARC and now PNU/ODM is a mystery we need to unravel. Is there a
student
of politics to help us help    as here?
Â
Â
But what should MJ do after hanging the boots at Safaricom is it
to write books, lecture, start a start-up company to test whether the
theories
work in a different setting etc .... what do you recommend MJ should do from
October
 31st ? should he stay in or out of ICT sector , go politics ( run
for president as suggested by Charles) , preach, or takeover  one of the
smaller operators and build it to be a mega company like
