[kictanet] Mombasa's Innovation workspace restoration works

[Ahmed Mohamed Maawy]

Agreed Ali. The space itself has been the result of more than 2 years of
planning and strategy.

But what is it meant to achieve I guess is bigger in the whole bigger
picture - it can be more than a sabatical visit. Regional inclusion is
always key. It will be interesting to see how Kenya plays a more Kenyan
role than a Nairobi role. Opportunity spaces should not be physically
limited in a cyber connected world.
