>> David,
>> I am happy that the message is getting across. In the past six months,
>> two giant motor vehicle manufacturers have announced that they plan to
>> set
>> up plants in Kenya. I am very clear on ICT energy requirement knowing
>> the
>> fact that many organizations want to set up regional hubs for cloud
>> services out of Kenya. This means greater demand for energy.

>> The predictive model in use now uses variables such as economic growth

>> counterpart in Industrialization is equally frustrated as he rolls out
>> village industries. We desperately need at least 3,000 MW plant
>> immediately and additional 2,000 MW on an annual basis. Do not put the
>> required investment infront. There are many investors who want to
>> invest.
>>
>> Let me take this opportunity to congraturate all listers since some of
>> the
>> issues we have raised her are getting their way into political speeches.
>> Last night one of the real Presidential contenders said the "Knowledge
>> society is what we want to achieve in order to create jobs .... not
>> KKV".
>> Although he did not attribute the remarks to Kictanet, I was happy that
>> we
>> may be finally begining to develop issue based politics. Let us do Kazi
>> Ya Mkono (KYM) in generating the ideas.
>>
>> Anothor of those who have declared their interest in the presidency
>> requested me to inject some of "those things you are doing in the blogs"
>> into his manifesto. Clearly he has not read them but may have been
>> informed by one of the listers. Either way it is encouraging that the
>> discussions are not all in vain.
