[kictanet] Update from Kenya ICT Board Bellagio, Italy Summit 2011

Wed Mar 30 19:22:58 EAT 2011

I agree Leonard, provided upcoming innovators are part and parcel of this
delegations, i dont mind, something similar to Tom Mboyas airlifts, we need
knowledge transfer in as much as we are selling Kenya, get people from the
Counties involved in DV and other projects and expose them, the Youth have
to be part and parcel of this delegations and we would like to get feedback
on who went as , we need to start creating a transgenerational advantage.

Many thanks
