		<description><![CDATA[Kenyans tend to be a very optimistic lot. This was probably most evident after the 2002 election when we were widely regarded as the &#8220;most optimistic citizens&#8221; in the world. This sense of expectancy is here again, and this time it&#8217;s around the arrival of terrestrial fiber optic cables to the country. And with good [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Lately, I&#8217;ve been mulling over this thought: what does it take to create a technology hub? I&#8217;m almost certain Paul Kukubo has been onto this too for longer than I have, since the ICT Board&#8216;s vision is that Kenya becomes a top 10 global technology hub. Nairobi being Kenya&#8217;s, and arguably the region&#8217;s, technology epicenter, [...]

		<description><![CDATA[A little while back I wrote about how job references are increasingly becoming irrelevant to smart managers because the said referees have the propensity to tell them what they want to hear &#8211; that you have a fine candidate.
