True, ideally we should 'do' more rather than expecting others to do for us. But stuff like implementing a functioning physical address system should be initiated by the govt. I was thinking about it and it could net kenya BILLIONS. Think about it. People can start our own versions of credit card processors which target the east african community, established retail outlets can start web-sites from where you can do your own line shopping and have it delivered to your house, a parallel mail system can be developed where the post man actually comes to your door - of course this would be at a premium. I don't understand how countries like jamaica and nigeria have had this for YEARS yet we are still using postal systems that the neanderthals used.
I love kenya with all my heart, but whenever im back home i cringe at the amount of inefficiency and bureaucracy that is exhibited (almost proudly). I remember having to fill in the clan i belonged to when i was getting my ID - and this was only 4 years ago.
any1 feel me??
