On this subject, we really need laws that would guarantee capacity building, e.g.?you can?require that at least 40% local participation in every aspect of a contract where the principal winner is a foreign company. In the case of infrastructure projects, this will entail that level of participation right from conception, feasibility, financing, design, implementation, ...<br>

Kwani how else are we supposed to build capabilities?<br>

Exactly Matunda..<br>
<br>
In my previous life when I worked in the motor industry there was a<br>
requirement that commercial vehicles required a minimum of 40% local<br>
content. And although we never succeeded in building our own vehicles from<br>
scratch (Nyayo car anyone?) we succeeded in creating a vibrant local OEM<br>
industry that still exists to date.<br>
<br>
This was government policy. And it worked. Where and when did we lose the<br>
plot?<br>
<br>
We must start as a country to act GLOCAL (Think Global but act Local).<br>
