[kictanet] Open Data - Where does it sit?

[bitange at jambo.co.ke]

Thanks Mwendwa,  
I will never understand our people.  Sometime back I made real effort to have local production of computers (e-mado) hoping to go through a learning curve and some day we start to manufacture our own light electronics.  This was quickly shunned the same way we did to Nyayo Pioneer.

We could not afford to buy Socrata and the help from WB was not much and so we opted for SAAS.  This is one of a kind application whith developed capacity in open government and visualization.  Indeed my primary motivation was to open our own knowledge to our people and open opportunities for developing our own visualization application.  

If only we can see opportunity as much as we see doom, Kenya will be far.

Regards


Ndemo.
