sacoma's world enterpreneurship forum

first... the sacoma world enterpreneurship forum set of today to a roaring strt at the holiday inn in nairobi, most of the speakers were colourless until one khalid sheik.. a uk indian of ugandan origin... the man has a bone to pick with everybody. it seems after leaving uganda as a refugee he set up shop in england and is today worth 850 million pounds sterling.... he trades as clifton packaging plc..... he is so pissed off that the stuff he deals with in the uk originates in africa but so little of the value is left here. case in point. he had the organisers distribute some chocolate... in ghana the cococa beans originate at 600 to 850 pounds atonne. i n the uk after he is done packaging the chocolate, it fetches just under 20 thousand pounds. he gave the example of a cup of coffe... in london it averages 1 pound 50. global business value 140 billion shillings. the ethipian farmer of prime coffee get one and a half pence per kg of raw cofee after watching the tree grow for four years.. yep.....

second.... results from the safaricom ipo expected to come out tomorrow. startling statistics......

third... the rhino charge is this weekend.. expected to be a bruiser in one corner of isiolo.. or maybe not.
