AOB: The PAC report on Anglo-leasing can be downloaded here (kudos Nation!), and it’s good to see business people in Kenya getting familiar with protests, you can’t have change without some form of engagement.

What did we used to do before RSS again???

- So Charles Taylor has been captured and that’s excellent news but I would have liked to see more balanced coverage of the story as far as Nigeria’s role. As Chippla points out, “Without a doubt, the Nigerian government was pissed off by such a move and seemed to say “come get him if you want him.” After all, the Nigerian president allowed Taylor to come live in Calabar as part of a [U.S brokered] deal to end the Liberian civil war. This is a fact that must not be overlooked in any discussion on the current state of Liberia. Had Charles Taylor not left Liberia, the civil war would not have ended at the time it did.”

- Newish and supposedly the biggest job-search database; it searches message boards as well.

- African women reshaping the continent.

- A case of the pot calling the kettle black.

After numerous fits and starts, it looks like we could be making progress. A new initiative has been launched to make Kenya the ICT capital of Africa by 2010. Those of you who are based in the diaspora and are interested in participating in this initiative can join the diaspora task force.

The Ministry of Information website is also looking like it’s on the path to improvement. I guess that’s what happens when we have a switched on minister who doesn’t think that a mouse is a small panya
