[kictanet] BLOG - Future of Kenya as an outsourcer?

[Brian Longwe]

Hi Nik,

Very interesting blog to read. Thanks for the referall. But it kind  
of leaves one thirsting to see more of the debate and more justice  
done to salvage Kenya's "backwoods", "undereducated", "forest- 
dweller" image and paint a true picture of the "Netropolis" that this  
country truly is.
