Going down history lane – however long – it is quite clear that human beings anywhere in the world have been brought to where they are by the efforts of innovative individuals who had the independence of mind, determination, courage and generosity to share their thoughts – and often their energies – with the rest of humanity.
We in Kenya – part of the so-called Third World up to now – have for most of our lives worked along the lines of innovations that have always come from other people and from elsewhere.
