[kictanet] Kenya's "Silicon Savannah" to challenge India on IT

Wed Jun 8 08:17:34 EAT 2011

Daktari,

This is a nice peace indeed.  What is amazing is the coining of "Silicon 
Savannah" to denote Konza, am tempted to suggest that if possible the tag line 
be adopted.

Let us keep the fire burning.

Regards

Sam
