Hi,

The statistic on the number of computers is false, Safaricom is said to have sold over 1 million laptops yet the census results give a figure of approximately 311,000 computers making this statistic ludicrous.  Additionally the census sets the number of mobile phones at 5.5 M.

This is why we need the census information published so that we can poke holes in it.  The presence of computers in the home requires electricity and also a reason for a family to need to buy one.  Kenya power has a little over 1 million subscribers which includes businesses, government offices and institutions of learning.  Also note that there are only 2.45 house holds with TVs which is a low tech device.

Unlike a mobile phone it will be expensive having to take your laptop for charging at the shopping centre everyday especially since we treat solar power as a taboo subject yet the creator has never sent anyone a bill for using the sun.

We need relevant content on the TV, a drive to tap solar and wind for power generation, promote LCD & LED screens because they require less power than the CRT devices and can even work on DC power, mobile friendly local web content after which we can look at placing more computers in the home.
