[kictanet] Greek - Kenya Comparison - Applied to Local Tech Scene

[S.Murigi Muraya]

Dear All,

Good read here.

It is mostly accurate but it does not note, occasionally, where decent
technocrats are in place, competent consultancies or tech firms do get
government contracts (projects) without having to bribe.

Do not know how but such technocrats need to be recognized and rewarded by
the Government.

Also do not think our government would discriminate against open source
solutions with strong corporate backing such as Red Hat.

As all wise organizations ask, who is to be held accounatable for updates or
fixes of Free or Open Source Software (FOSS) that is only community based?

Regards

SMM
