The greater problem though is that we have far too many activists than we have entrepreneurs.
This comment is this rather revealing and very pointed. But if "activism" is this bothering to government, then perhaps we could be succeeding far more than we imagined and we pray that there are no severe high- handed retaliations in waiting:) 1. There is hardly enough social movement and change agents in this area and governments rarely "entertain" opposed views. Usually they wish them away so that the official position remains the absolute dogmatic truth. 2. In the last two years of outsourcing, how many NEW entrepreneurs have invested dearly in BPOs and how much has the country earned? 3. Provoking Yawes, Gakuru,and others are asking is: - - In the final analysis,will the cable really help much? or will the last chapter of the outsourcing gospel be "cable ilitengenezewa na iko na wenyewe"? - Why is the PS avoiding guaranteeing the final consumer prices? How many "activists" are standing to you and asking these such hard questions? I feel that you should encourage more to probe this project if not for accountability sake, then to save on future commission of enquiries. But if you do not want the questions please say so.
Innovative people cannot complain about idle capacity of such a factor of production. It is criminal that you who is aware of what ICT infrastructure can do to the country that you sit there to complain that it is idle instead of raising awareness to the public and utilizing that asset.
Excuse me, but it is rather unfair that your statements target at "discrediting" the person for asking you hard questions. He is your BOSS!
