@calestous @MarthaKarua Yes, but awards should be for far less money to already wealthy presidents. More should go to the needy.
@makaumutua The winners can choose to give it away as they wish @MarthaKarua
@calestous @MarthaKarua No. It shouldn't be left up to them. A huge prize looks like a bribe to forestall corruption.
@makaumutua There are many types of prizes serving different purposes. This is just one type. That's my point. @MarthaKarua
@calestous @MarthaKarua There aren't "many" prizes of this size, and not by Africans, or others. This was groundbreaking.
.@makaumutua In patronage cultures prizes are seen as gifts and not incentives. That's why the #MIFPrize is misunderstood @MarthaKarua
