Innovation or Daylight Piracy ? Take a leaf from Apple Iphone

I know we are in third world country, and trying very hard to be self reliant - Finance Ministers Uhuru Kenyatta 1 trillion budget . However this does not mean that you take advantage of your fellow Kenyan in the most blatant of ways possible, even though we have high poverty levels and the largest slum dwelling in Africa, every mans intellectual property is worth protecting.

I've seen some noble efforts in our country today trying to protect and breed talented new developers, new innovative ideas and growth in the ICT industry such as the IHUB project, which gives an incubator to ideas to grow and lets enterprise firms pickup ideas and develop them in conjunction with the developers. Should I go on again about how ushahidi.com was an idea born in African and now its being exported, this are some of the ideas being born in trust and shared out, for the good of man kind.

Now just because your racking in the largest profits in Kenya's Economic History i.e. Safaricom 21 Billion Kenya Shilling profit, does not account for anything if you cannot help your fellow Kenyan and promote them to think and Payup or share in their good ideas that may help your organization to propel into greater prosperity call it Corporate Social Responsibility.  Its only common sense that if your going to ask a bunch of human beings to innovate on your behalf so that you can further use this item to make muller, that you at least compensate in cash on in kind(not everyone wants money). Please Safaricom do some research on the internet on how IPhone Apps have become such a hit from enabling developers make money of its. I'm particularly taken aback by your resent terms and conditions on your innovation site Safaricom innovation , if you want developers to innovate kindly give them some sort of motivation or at least help them feed their families, and uplift the lives of many.
