[kictanet] IIEC: voting for technology

[S.M. Muraya]

The BVR loan is good news.

Has the government made arrangements for technology transfer?

If the Cabinet + IEBC has negotiated well (for skills transfer) this should
be a co.ke business in 2017.

The firm(s) supplying the BVR technologies should deal with (that is train
interested) Kenyan firms to deploy and support their technologies in the
field.
