« on: October 31, 2014, 10:01:20 AM »


In Summary

    The survey by Barclays Bank and South African based Columinate, found that 63 per cent of Kenyan youths regularly choose to invest any extra income in electronic devices (at 38 per cent), while the church or mosque get a paltry one per cent.
    The majority of the youths said technological gadgets are important tools of personal advancement hence the heavy spending.

They should adopt a Singapore model when it comes to internet usage and make it completely free. That should accelerate developments.
