I wonder if any honest Kenyan will get a fair chance, or will everything be gobbled by buddies and tenderprenuers? Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

Just some loan sharks who make more money by giving some away - now wanakuja Kenya and you are being asked to polish your bowl in a presentable manner, they might throw some coins your way. Lakini kuna shida kidogo, some rich kenyans are known to turn into beggars when the opportunity presents itself - so its competition between the genuine beggars and the acting beggars.

GES2015 Talks have started and the host had very bogus questions the editing of that Bidco talk was so poor. I sincerely hope this is not the kind of conferencing about to be hosted.

Kudos to KBC Channel 1 for grabbing live broadcasting rights for the summit. Its live currently.
Strive Masiyiwa delivers a very strong endorsement of Kenya's business environment.

Very eloquent, nice delivery, nice structure - the story building up to a nice conclusion on entrepreneurship and what it can do to people's lives! Hats off to him. Totally outdid himself. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

They are running repeats - no need to wait for YouTube uploads. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

I had the pleasure to exhibit at the pre-GES at KICC.and it hit me just how may ICT startups have benefited from the likes of iHub and Nailab.However these hubs are located in one area and it got me thinking what if we could set up similar spaces in areas like the republic of Ongata Rongai

The GESKENYA2015 has propped 3 good facades. Political that is hugely represented, Economical with all Bulls and Cows angling and the Social length where we need to make sure Kenyans enjoy what they have, what they do in all better social level making sure Wanjiku and Baby Youth enjoy the fruits of a progressive Kenya.

Most of the investors in these hubs are wazungus who's travel advisories tell them not to dare step in the eastern parts of Nairobi. So they've placed the hubs in the middle of the mzungu community, knowing entrepreneurs have no choice but to come where they are
