[kictanet] Day 10/11 of 12- BPO Discussions, Strengths andWeaknesses (Observations from USA and UK); and Trends and Niches

[alice]

I agree as well. The frequent misrepresentation of facts, lack of 
analysis, even political stories, that our media is so good at 
covering,  lack comprehensive political analysis.
And while, one of the indicators of democracy is freedom of press, and I 
believe ours is free, with it comes all the negative aspects including 
the sheer irresponsibility we have witnessed for the past two years or 
so with terrible consequences.

Adam, notes that some foreign media , The Financial Times for example 
have a positive write up about the cable landing.

If our local media can not choose to become part of the solution to our 
country's challenges and problems then I wonder what their role is?

> I agree with Dr. Ndemo et al.  One of our greatest weakness is negative energy. And the root cause of this negative energy is tribalism. Our East African citizens (TZ,UG etc) know that Kenyans identify themselves first as being from their tribe, then 2nd as being from their clan and finally as being from their country ( the 'Navumulia' kua mkenya mentality).

> As noted by others, the sheer capacity of this negative energy will overide any marketing dollars that may be poured out there in "Brand Kenya" initiatives...There must be conscious and deliberate effort to sell Brand Kenya internally.  We have to find a way to celebrate our diversity rather than exagerate our differences...This to me should have been one of the pillars in the Vision 2030 because it wont happen overnite.
