[kictanet] University of Nairobi Set Top Boxes

[Odhiambo Washington]

@Dennis,

Give me a break.
How many "made in Kenya" electronics do you see on the streets/shops?
What is so difficult to produce between a motorcycle and an STB? Do you
produce motorcycles in KE? Or just bicycles?
We import all that. Now you are telling me we can produce electronics in
KE? Far from it.

I think those investors could first put their money on producing bikes,
then think electronics after 2030.
