When the Kenya Government slaped a 25% duty on used computers, it was meant to encourage local assembly where we have done pretty well on the learning curve. This policy change is to enable local job creation while taking into consideration on environmental impact from energy zapping used computers. In any case, the cost of a donated computer amounts to between Ksh. 16,000 and 25,000. This is pretty much what it cost assembling a new PC locally.
