		<description>Its about time they did this. It is sad to see our cultural artifacts being expropriated from us. However just curious to know if this agreement includes registering and protecting names in Europe, the US and other places where these products fetch alot of money.</description>

		<description>[...] Originally Posted by MAJESHI   If you look at Kenya alone, the key indicators such as literacy, unemployment, disease, access to clean drinking water, security, access to healthcare, infrastructure.... I would not brag about anything. well, you could be right, if your standard ni ya 100yrs ago, I am, Happy! Check the literacy rate in Kenya before you make that point. I would not brag about speaking 3 languages, 2 of which probably have no economic value whatsoever. I am sure even Kibaki can brag about speaking three languages, swahili being one of them! Yaah right!    Mr Majeshi i hope you live long enough to see how important Cultural Assets including local languages are important for development.They are an undiscovered and underutilized gold.   You are right on critical thinking, though i might add it is a correlation effect of there relatively few Graduates of African descent in Graduate schools world wide.   Critical thinking is a trained skill and is taught in very elite teaching centers that are accessed by the priviledged few. Very few schools like this exist in Kenya.  Infact i can only think of 3 schools in Kenya.   But dont loose hope Majeshi if you do who will lead your brothers and sisters. Obama said we are the ones we have been waiting for.
