[kictanet] Nothing like free dinner

[Wamuyu Gatheru]

Well, I dont think any serious investor or stakeholder should be chasing free meals but something is amiss. The engagement of Kenyans (in all ICT sectors) compared to that of the visitors is like night and day. Its as though they are talking about foreign things or life in Mars that have nothing to do with Kenya. There must be good reasons why European, American, Asian and Australian businesspeople and their governments have hyper involvement while their Kenyan hosts are minding their shugulis...?

regards, Wamuyu

They say there is nothing like free lunch. How about free dinner? Last Sunday the CSK invited and received 70 confirmations from Kenya business community to come to free dinner and meet the iCANN Board and other ICANN international delegates. Come the day and 70 international delegates (including the full ICANN Board and Chair) make it to the Hilton for the function but only 10 Kenyans show up! Does it mean some people do not believe in "free dinner" or is there simpy something peculiar about Kenyans?
