'We need to develop innovations for Africa that go beyond the pilot stage. This means we need to find the right balance in developing strategies for commercialization and finding a way past the regulators,' Prof Paul Wainaina, Kenyatta University, in his keynote africanmedtech

The CS of Energy, the MD and Board of KPLC need to stand before the Nation in a press conference and articulate what went wrong and more importantly what's the plan for the next 6, 12 and 24 hours.
Press statements and tweets are insufficient for a nationwide #blackout

This has to be the most ridiculous tax thought up by our Kenyan Goverment.

They might as well add a tax for every battery enabled device to protect and help #KenyaPower to boost revenue by ensuing all devices are connected to the grid at all times.

See you guys tomorrow 🙂

'IoT has alot of benefits and potential for transformative change. But is this data protected and safeguarded? There is a need for policy and regulation to ensure data governance is enhanced' Latiff Cherono in his session on Collecting Data Using The Internet of Things. #DFA23

Is anyone else struggling with Safaricom PLC IoT Sims?
- After almost two months of using SAFCOM IoT SIMS, we are yet to receive an invoice detailing TX/RX costs
- The 'Global' SAFCOM sims we tested, failed to work when our test device crossed over the Kenya border.

'Why Africa, Why Kenya?

This is the @PCB_Africa SMT line, where you can fabricate your surface mount PCB boards.
Here's an illustrative video on the functionality of the different machines, which take a bare PCB board to a final assembled one.

Asante sana to all the men and women working to improve water efficiency. We are proud of your hard work and efforts. Thank you Mobi-Team!

The service levels at @FEDEX in Nairobi are abysmal. If you are a business that works with short lead times, find another logistics partner, because FedEx Kenya will disappoint you and more importantly, your customers, at every opportunity.

This is an important thread that crystallizes why our governments must do better for SMEs. They need to foster growth, not overburden.

You don't want to miss this chat, join us tomorrow! Here's a article on Raspberry Pi's being made by @PCB_Africa in Kenya as a teaser: raspberrypi.com/news/made-in-k…

The pillars of our #AfricanHardware revolution that catalyze 'Best fit intelligent solutions that address African challenges':

✅ Young engineers/makers
✅ Access to open source tools
✅ Access to knowledge + skills
✔️ Access to internet (this needs work esp. around IoT)

KiCad is a free, open source suite of CAD tools for schematic capture and Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design.

We really like it, so we've made a newer version available on Raspberry Pi OS. We're also helping KiCad with their end-of-year funding drive.
