[kictanet] [Skunkworks] Expensive software systems?

[aki]

Wesley, you are absolutely correct on developing local solutions.  Local
developers can do  an equally or even better design, implementation and
sustain long term support of the systems. Outsourcing of technology,
software and solutions will  lead to loss of jobs, revenue, oppurtunity
and growth for kenyans in the ICT sector.

The ICT software development community is a strong selling point for Kenya.
Would it be possible for ICT policy makers to integrate the development
community in its visions,  plans and strategies ? This would be a great
start and would lay the foundations of understanding and promoting local
potential to even the sponsors/loaners/financiers of such projects

With Rgds.

Aki.
