Dear Members,

We acknowledge several requests by @Ric dees, @Mtubiz in relation to introduction of a Thinker's Section in Wazua.

We would like to accede to this request, but now realize we need more information so as to better understand type of content that would be placed in this section.

Please expound your vision for this section.

Thank you for being a part of Wazua

@Wazua,
Thanks for acceding to this request, however how this best works is if for the moderator ie wazua, to give us topics to discuss that would benefit/inform society at large, may i stress it's paramount to have world-view in mind don't limit them to Kenya or East Africa. We could as well suggest topics that we feel could be discussed and if you guys deem they are worthy enough then you can go ahead and implement them on the header.

ie Is Bandwidth the New Black Gold?
Discuss!

The usual rules and regulations will apply.

Guys any other suggestions??

Theoretical quantum physics? Genetic bio-medicine? Differential economics? smile IMHO, we do not need a separate section for that. We can discuss real and complex issues right here.
Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.

@ Wazua, is this how you are making use of the $100,000 that you recently received from the ICT board and made Mr kukubo one of your directors..

As much as it's a grant and not a loan, make use of it well.

@Cardinal

It is a cardinal sin to make an allegation here without giving us links to the story. Was the giving of 100,000 dollars to Wazua done in public interest? Is wazua into some other project that merited the grant etc. Give us a link man.

@Wazua

What does the word WAZUA mean? I thought it implied thinking things through, solving issues etc. Be cautious when started the thinkers corner cauze it might insinuate those outside it are non thinkers or bongo lala.

@Ric dees

Thought of professionals corner or experts corner would be more appropriate where only those who have proven themselves to be veterans or experts in a given field are allowed to present issues, argue, present facts or contribute. Just a thought.

"Is 'private public partnerships' the new euphemism for corruption?"

pls refer to http://www.pcworld.com/b..._kickbacks_charges.html

I have local experience (rather challenges) where PPPs are touted but are really just vehicles through which kick backs can be paid out and single sourcing practiced (disregarding procurement procedures).

That could work,dialogue is all what we need, wonder why people are against this!!..but again where else would the middle class huff and puff!!


A rational reaction against irrational excesses and vagaries of skepticism may . . . readily degenerate into the rival folly of credulity.

But unfortunately, there is little evidence of what Kenya’s ICT Board has identified as merit-worthy local content – no slur on the stock pundits whose flash movies occupy pride of place on the Tandaa.08 homepage, but personal opinion on what’s going to go up or down at the discredited Nairobi Stock Exchange doesn’t cut it for me as an example of the best local content on offer. http://blog.marsgroupkenya.org/?p=397




I may be wrong..but then I could be right

Eish.. Relax guys, ni nini ? Yaani the suggestion of a thinkers section is somehow a threat?

Ni kuelimishana, some people don't comment about investments some do.... etc

I believe wazua is big enough to accommodate diverse genre, even your name WAZUA alludes to thinking...

Now @ wazua. I think the proposed section should dwell on or be about matters philosophical... what i mean is a place where people can engage on such topics as .....

1. Is there life after death?
2. Is there life on other planets?
3. Is there a heaven and a hell?
4. Is there a God or god ?
and such like subjects....

I've seen such threads come up before and i dont see how they can fit in culture, health, politics, sports or life ......

Hello! You must be in on this discrimination too. The baddest part of being unconstitutionally tagged hello is that I have to wait for 999999 seconds before being able to post tena.

@Cardinal @digitek1 @Wazua, wapi link, please elaborate...

Me I've Googled 'wazua tandaa' and the only link is to your story. Surely, if they were given that much chumz, something should come up...

Further @digitek1 on reading your link on marsgroup blog, I find evidence of Aly-Khan Satchu making a presentation in Tandaa. Is this the stock market information being referred to?

Ati Wazua got a US$100k...OMG.And now they are talking of introducing a Thinkers corner while they themselves don't think. The real personalities behind the $100k is the contributors to the forum. We only need 5 bulls (at a cost of $2,500) for the party. $2.5k ni pesa kidogo sana.

Think Wazua think!!!!

Dear Members,

We appreciate your contributions thus far as regards the Thinker's Section. At the same time, we acknowledge vibrant imaginations of some of our members.

We would like to clarify we are not the beneficiary of any grant from ICT board, and neither did we participate in the ICT board process. We also do not have Mr Paul Kukubo as a member of the board of Wazua or its related partners.

Should such an occurrence arise, it would be natural to inform while thanking our members, who are an intrinsic part of Wazua.

Thank you for being a part of Wazua.

Welcome to Wazua.


Dear Wazua,

Why do you like ending all your posts with 'Welcome to Wazua'. It is not like all of us have just come to Wazua. Even new people like me soon feel and know that they are welcome to Wazua.

Welcome to Wazua just sounds corny.
