[kictanet] Kenya IGF Meeting & Statistics - Census

Thu Aug 27 14:05:12 EAT 2009

Hello,

I have just been counted this morning and it is interesting there is much 
data to do with access to ICT . For example they ask whether you access 
internet from office or at home and frequency. Other ICT items such as TV, 
Land line, Computer, Radio (they ask whether you listen to radio - which 
does apply in my case, except if travel by Matatu). However there was no 
mention of mobile phone. In addition, they ask if the children uses 
computer, though not specific at school or home. As a reseacher, my view is 
if data is analysed well, it will be quite informative as far as "Access to 
ICT" accross the country is concerned.

Interestingly enough, the enumerator did not ask me about the contraversial 
"which tribe i belong to", I guess he picked it from the general responses. 
Others could share their experiences.
