[kictanet] Lobbying: a necessity not a choice + it is not institutionalized corruption.

[S.M. Muraya]

Why not target government officials at a generational level. Think about
Denis Itumbi.

Fellow is Gen Y, open minded, and a beneficiary of the current go.ke
favoring his/local talent.

Few of us really understand how well he opposed foreign/biased interference
in Kenyan affairs.

This is one way to get a decent policy to build up local IT firms pushed at
State House.

Regards

Murigi / Stanley Muraya
