Dear listers Today I went to visit my relas in Central. I kept my eye on the roads to scope out the route for digital villages. I hired my driver, who is from Central, because I do not have a car. I paid him 5000 for his time, and 4000 for gas, which I frankly, think is reasonable. We traveled 330 km. We traveled from 8:30 a.m. to 7:45 p.m. (I think that is too long. Thika road is dangerous at night). We did the whole loop. Juja, thika, sagana, karatina, nyeri, othaya, kira-ini, saba saba, thika, juja. * It would bring costs down if someone who is from central would be willing to drive their car, and we all paid the gas*. That being said, there was a lot of road carnage, so I was happy to be with a professional driver. *Re Safaricom centers in central *that are in good shape we have 1) Jomtech cyber; othaya constituency, nyeri sagana road, *On R*oad 2) Mac farm products, kiraini town opp police station,* On Road* *Re ICT Board Pasha,* we have 1) Muranga; Maragua, Maragua, but not idea where that is on this road. 2) Kiambu, Juja, Ruiru, *on the road *3) Kiambu, Gatundu North, Gatukuyu *No idea if on the road. * *Re Safaricom centers that are not up to snuff *we have many-- 1) Nyeri town constituency 2) juja efast cyber cafe 3) integral communications, juja town, juja, 4) realtech cyber, thika, juja; 5) sam and hen2 saba saba juja; 6) Tonnes cyber cafe, karatina, nyeri town constituency, Please let me know *are you willing to drive your car, if we cover the gas*?
