[kictanet] SwahiliBox - Mombasa's Technology Hub is coming to life

[Ahmed Mohamed Maawy]

Thank you Dr. Bitange. Although we have not decided on a final date for
that, at the moment we are planning to have it somewhere within the 2nd
quarter of the coming year (2015). However we do plan to have that
communicated soon as we can.

I will also make it a point to personally inform you as well as all on this
list on that once we have all the plans finalized.

Ahmed
