<snip> Putting the interest of Kenya ahead, is it more economically feasible to hire local Architects or to pay foreigners do the job that we can comfortably do? Since Asian ICT experts offer cheaper labor than us, does it mean we will fill Konza with Indians at the expense of locals? Remember Kenya bought BVR kits from Canada at 3times the cost (from initial 3B to 9B). Why then can't we benefit local expert? -- ______________________ Mwendwa Kivuva For Business Development Transworld Computer Channels Cel: 0722402248 twitter.com/lordmwesh www.transworldAfrica.com <http://www.transworldafrica.com/> | Fluent in computing kenya.or.ke | The Kenya we know
On the last point, might CCK have also been appreciated about nominating technology experts to the board or this was not necessary as their will be no real technology at this infrastructure stage?
