[kictanet] Question on ICT/BPO Park

[Mworia Wilfred Mutua]

Hi all,

Upon all the talk of buildings and parks, let me just make a voice for
encouraging startup culture, tech entrepreneurial culture, and creating an
environment for the entrepreneurs and innovators. Paul Graham founder of
y-combinator explains this really well - How to be Silicon
Valley<http://paulgraham.com/siliconvalley.html>(check out the 'Not
Buildings' sections) & Can
you buy a Silicon Valley? Maybe <http://paulgraham.com/maybe.html> (Full
list of P.G.s essays here <http://paulgraham.com/articles.html>)

All the same, I appreciate the efforts by the ministry and stakeholders, at
the very least you will all agree it's better than nothing, right? :)
