<DIV>Aside from these, I have seen products made from bananas, pineapples and avocado ready for large scale agro-processing investment. There is a lot to learn from this institution.<BR></DIV>

<DIV><BR><SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>One more comment regarding Jua Kali: how many of AIE holders on this list have made it a policy to source from Jua Kali e.g. furniture? Not only would this earn this hard working lot a better living but the sourcer can also help lift standards of products Jua Kali produce.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><BR><SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>Sentiments expressed here about polytechnics are right on. In my Nyamira area we have been arguing about what to press for first: a university or a world class polytechnic? I have supported the latter adding that more should also be done in village polytechnic type skills development. And for reasons that today, we have an inverted pyramid with a lot of graduates without the needed support structure to make them effective. </SPAN></DIV>
