<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">PS Ndemo is provoking a healthy debate on key issues that we need to pay attention to if Kenya is to accelerate in the right direction.</SPAN></div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"></SPAN> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">Industrialization is key to economic development. China, Malysia and Koreas of this world have demonstrated it. ICT is now identified as one of the vibrant </SPAN></div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">industry in Kenya. Indeed it is, yet we have limited it to service sector. My proposal is that we make delibarate effort to bring on board Semiconductor industries</SPAN></div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">that manufacture SIM cards, Mobile Phones etc. this are light industries that require small spaces and are not bulky. they are knowledge intensive. we have the knowledge and skill to produce. I trained in this area </SPAN></div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">at the Hitachi Microectronics Research Centre , University of Cambridge UK with colligues from USA, Canada and Greece. They all went into establishment of Semiconductor industries that have promoted the economies of their countries. why cant we do the same? there are enough engineers in our country who can come together and start up such industries with the support of government. The environment is now in our favour. PS Ndemo, please take up this idea. Lots of jobs and businesses can be created for our people.</SPAN></div>

Driving Knowledge Economy?OnlineInterview with PS Ndemo<BR></FONT><BR>Listers,<BR>I hoped someone will ask how to get housing to all other Kenyans after we deal with
Northern Kenya. Let me explain.<BR><BR>We have trillions in the cooporative movement managed by wazees that have little education while the people who created the wealth languish in Jigger invested huts.<BR><BR>Those who come from coffee and tea growing areas know that billions are being wasted and records are being destroyed. Actualy as I too is a victim of this mismanagent. While growing up we picked coffee and carried it on our heads to processing factories. The highest pay per KG I remember my late mother got was Ksh. 1. Much of the moner had been deducted for investment. Some of these investment are now prime properties which we have no say in and I do not think we shall ever redeam the investment.<BR><BR>First thing I will do is to deal with the cooperative act and bring justice to the original investors. Since most of them are not a live we deal with successors of their estates. The resource will then be
used as collateral to build decent housing for Millions of Kenyans and and more importantly those suffering under inhuman condition with jiggers yet they played a key role in creating wealth. <BR><BR>I will start an aggressive program of cottage industries with the aim of bulding a wage economy. This will make it easier for mortgage banks to lend money for eco homes throughout. The country. You must agree that to move our people from the begging culture to mordern ways of living we need to create structures that support such life. It will force us to plan in almost all aspects. To plan to pay mortgage, to plan the number of children etc.<BR><BR>Then it will be easier to deploy fibre and other utilities to every home. With such utilities we can help our people sustainably.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Ndemo.<BR><BR><BR>Sent from my BlackBerry®<BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From: "[ Brainiac ]" <<A
