[kictanet] CBK lacks tech savvy team to survey local lenders

[Barrack Otieno]

Most of the problems faced are based on people (soft) issues.
Technology does not necessarily solve people issues, it is just a
facilitator, who says an ethical hacker cannot turn rogue using the
same tools?

As Waudo mentions we are not short of expertise , i think we are short
of values.
