Critical Commentary
This is an audio clip recorded during a Zoom call between the co-authors Angela Okune and Leonida Mutuku which took place on November 30, 2020. As part of conceptualizing their paper, the co-authors were discussing the importance of contextualizing the iHub within a broader narrative of Kenyan tech (i.e. tech in Kenya didn't start and end with the iHub) while also recognizing its unique and important role in attracting international people and attention to Kenya for technology.
