Sorry to get out of Subject here!
But truth be told ,getting a hold of precious investment capital is a key challenge for any developing country and Kenya is not exceptional. Of all the kinds of capital which flows into developing countries, many economists believe that foreign direct investment (FDI) is the best - because it is the most advantageous to the host country
So what does moving election to 2013 does to Potential Investors to Kenya? This is the question that our politicians ought to answer. Rwanda, Could it be that one small African country provides the most powerful example for how to end the destructive practice of conducting politics as a game that must end with a winner and a loser?

Stephen it is an interesting read! But that raises a lot of questions around doing business with google and about privacy. Let us hang on for google's response, the matter definitely requires legal action, that is not the way google should build local content. I wish Stefan victory if he engages them legally.
