They are not interested in competence, performance or such boring stuff. They are interested in control and the goodies that come with it. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

A Kenyan can run Safaricom, S/he just needs to be a person of integrity. Our very own iCT minister run google operations in Subsahara Africa. Look at EABL after foreigners took over management, sometimes it takes understanding of our peculiar culture and habits to thrive. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

It is not a matter of whether they are able to or not -- of course Kenyans are able to. The problem is the tribalism, cronyism, nepotism, corruption, etc. And running Google is very different from running Safaricom: a politician has almost no sway on what a Google Head does, with most policy stuff handed down. I have seen you quote EABL once or twice in this respect and in truth I do not know how it has fared, but probably the fact that I don't know means it has not done as badly as KQ did under Naikuni

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
