[kictanet] Craze over mobile phone must be one Kenyan ‘peculiar habit’

Listers, interesting view from someone who is not typically in these streets: ​ What this success story does not explain, however, is why Kenyans are willing to invest in a mobile phone but not in other services, such as sanitation. Why has mobile phone connectivity gained more importance than toilets? A recent survey by Afrobarometer shows that while 98 per cent of Kenyans have access to a mobile phone, less than 20 per cent have access to proper toilets. http://www.nation.co.ke/oped/Opinion/Craze-over-mobile-phone-must-be-one-Ken... -- Grace L.N.
