Hi Wangari, Issue here is cultural and therefore we seem to accept sub standard products. Further we compare sub standard products with high quality products. Then we have the issue of get rich quick. This makes us accept poor products. Best Regards, Baiju

Happy Saturday!
We've got to be a demand to ourselves and our communities to be a stand for more and not just enough or just a shot!
Nairobi and Kenya is touted all over as the innovation hub. This thinking if adopted by all of us will only not keep us there or at best will keep us as a testing hub in the name of an innovative hub.
Secondly, using all the experiences of the so called first world, how might we catapult our growth versus just following suite? We must be able to create our own trail, not just accept a few shots to get high on.
Half a loaf theorem is really killing our people. There is evidence all over- Traditional NGO speak. What does it take to have the whole loaf and icing cake too. In other words the highest potential experience from the onset.
While we credit efforts by different players to meet community challenges such as nusu internet, the big brother herein Government must own the bigger vision and responsibility.
For all it is worth, we are in dire need of all the exposed brains to not be satisfied with just enough even in this evolving ICTs field.
Blessed day.
Regard/Wangari
