SOLOMON’S FREE TIME:
one question @zyee1qn
@solomonking speaking of playing,what do u in your freetime? @zyee1qn #1qn
@zyee1qn “Free time” is a bit of a myth in my world, sadly. But when I can: I read, play games, watch stuff, and just started biking. #1qn
one question @zyee1qn

@s_kamzac 150% workaholic, if that’s possible. I REALLY love my work. #1qn
UGANDA’S ICT FUTURE:
Mwesigwa Daniel @Lyk_ANavalanche
@solomonking why has uganda failed to attract venture capitalists for most #ICT4Dprojects yet kenya has@zyee1qn #1qn
@Lyk_ANavalanche Kenya is a much bigger economy than ours, their IT growth is a a couple of years ahead of ours. BUT [cont ] @zyee1qn #1qn
@Lyk_ANavalanche [cont] But we’re seeing huge growth in the venture capital space in UG. Lots of money coming in for #ICT4D @zyee1qn #1qn
@solomonking @Lyk_ANavalanche Additional to that there is no way the VCs will come to invest if they dont knw wat we have [cont].#1qn
@solomonking @Lyk_ANavalanche [Cont] so the more awareness we giv of what we can do they will show interest. #1qn
@s_kamzac Exactly, which is why there is an explosion of hackathons and labs and expos to showcase what UG is doing. @Lyk_ANavalanche #1qn
@zyee1qn So we’re on the right path, we just need to accelerate funding and ideas and take those ideas to market.@Lyk_ANavalanche #1qn
Mwesigwa Daniel @Lyk_ANavalanche
@solomonking yes,the incubators r budding,bt i have to speculate tht its a panic button pressed to reciprocate wat ke. z doing @zyee1qn #1qn
@Lyk_ANavalanche I disagree. I think it’s the natural progression of tech growth in any country. It’s happening all over the world. #ICT4D @zyee1qn #1qn
