Listers, 

Walu, thanks for bringing this up and CS for welcoming it.

My Wish list request:
Use and leverage technology to address Kenya's ticking time bomb of youth unemployment. 

I know we are all excited to see CS Mucheru and his team steering our country's economic growth and transformation using ICT.  We can ask and also offer support to the CS. 

My company OPENWORLD LTD is willing to invest KES  120 Million into this project. 

NB: Roughly 70 percent of the Kenyan working age youth - almost 10 million people - are unemployed, although a surprising number are very well educated and possess the kinds of skills a healthy economy. Indeed,  the key self taught skill for these working age youth are ICT via mobile. Joblessness among all people of working age is a serious problem in Kenya, but among young people, it is a catastrophe.

Best, Muthoni

Well received.
Floor is open on our last day.  I think I will extend it through midnite (for those not attending Midnite Christmas Mass/Service/Hangout :-)
So drop your ideas.  My last one is:
* Whatever happened to the BPO dream?  Since the foreign companies were not flocking in en mass as planned, I thought Government was to 'outsource' part of its services as a way of maturing/jumpstarting the local BPO market.  Could this be the time to do this?
walu.
