Hi all and the rest, I came across the following article and noted that the writer was likely not a member of this forum otherwise he would have realised that the problem transcends economic and social class; There’s little content from low income earning communities in Kenya on the Internet due to self censorship, rather than due to lack of access to connectivity. This has been revealed by Chris Orwa, who works with iHub Research On a piece on the iHub blog, Orwa says that the iHub, in following up on incidents reported on Ushahidi’s Uchaguzi election monitoring tool, found that much more happened in Mathare slums than was reported online. In addition, the team had observed that most of the reports on the platform were made from middle income neighbourhoods in Nairobi. In a visit to Mathare, Orwa and his team were told that the community there was tight knit - with people tending to know each other. There were a few people with access to the Internet, who also knew each other. The community tends to shun those who post negative information about the community, with indication that the community may in addition clamp down on those posting such information. Additionally, those who came from such areas did not want to be associated with the neighbourhood. This resulted in little information about such neighbourhoods being posted online. In addition, if any info was posted, it was rarely negative. Please only respond if you disagree with my interpretation Regards Robert Yawe KAY System Technologies Ltd Phoenix House, 6th Floor P O Box 55806 Nairobi, 00200 Kenya Tel: +254722511225, +254202010696
