@Paul_Muite @gatesfoundation In parts of Nyanza, specifically where I reside Usenge in Siaya county, they are walking house to house spraying chemicals in the name of controlling mosquitoes. Instead of spraying the bushes around they're doing it in houses. Are they not killing us silently?

We are mostly supporting small innovators who we believe are tomorrow's corporates with made in Kenya products for Africa and the world. We're also very proud to be manufacturers of Raspberry Pi Pico for the African marker. We have clients in Europe, Japan and US

@Mathenge_UX As long as he's got clients, I think he's good. Are there industries in Kenya that can benefit from his work?

Hi Steve. Sorry you seem to have had a bad experience - i apologise in advence. Please share details, even here publicly. I assure you, we DO manufacture PCBs, ie surface mount technology. We've been doing this for almost 5 years in Nairobi.

@Mathenge_UX @WEGNERJOASH If you are talking about gearbox those guys are trash. Highly price inflated prototypes, and man, they do not do pcb manufacturing. The simply assemble, literally soldering, something I can do by hand. They disappointed me to the core
