[kictanet] Kenya ICT Sector Stakeholder Public Forum (was Re: Legislation and Discipline & Ethics

[Titus Mburu]

I think what some are fighting as "foreign" invasion of our economy is the
result of globalisation.

At the end of the day, businesses look and see - where can we achieve
growth? where will we have a faster return on investment? are the conditions
suitable in this particular place? can we make more profits there? The fact
that Kenya appeals to some investors should actually be seen as a good
thing. I dont think (i stand to be corrected) that any foreigner will invest
and deploy their resources for the love of Kenya. They do so because it is a
viable investment option. 5-10 years down the line, we then have this
debate.

That said, i think we should also develop ourselves as Kenyans to create
capacities and synergies that will ensure we have "some" muscle as regards
to investing into our economy.
