<div>Wesley, you are absolutely correct on developing local solutions. Local developers can do an equally or even better design, implementation and sustain long term support of the systems. Outsourcing of technology, software and solutions will lead to loss of jobs, revenue, oppurtunity and growth for kenyans in the ICT sector. </div>

<div>The ICT software development community is a strong selling point for Kenya. Would it be possible for ICT policy makers to integrate the development community in its visions, plans and strategies ? This would be a great start and would lay the foundations of understanding and promoting local potential to even the sponsors/loaners/financiers of such projects</div>
