McTim,

You should have raised that issue over 4 months ago when the Kenya ICT Board invited interested parties to send a proposal for the development of ICT incubators.  

Just like with chicken egg incubators you cannot have too many, every year our institutions of higher learning pour out thousands of graduates who need somewhere to develop their skills.  An incubator only hatches the chicks after that they are supposed to take in new eggs.  If the chicks are allowed to stay in the incubator then it purpose and objective are defeated.

As had been indicated the funding was to come from the World Bank or some other donor.  What do you suggest that the KICT Board should do with those funds?

 Can you please also furnish us with some of the ICT incubators in Kenya and also some information on their success cases?  I believe many of us on this list would love to visit them to see how they are doing, its possible we are harassing KICTB yet they have done a study and realised that we do not need any more incubators, but at the least they should share that information and that is what is being raised in this post.

Hi,

We already have several ICT incubators.  I'm not sure that there is
enough biz to keep all the existent ones going let alone 2 new ones
(InfoDev and ICT board).
