[kictanet] CENSUS RESULTS

[charles nduati]

Hi All,

Since walu challenged us during the IGF forum to come out of hibernation let me also give my 1 cent of contribution to this used computer debate.

I totally agree with Prof Waema that somebody should actually  do a study and give facts, because let me tell you nothing speaks louder than facts. 

WAIT UNTIL WE SEE THE RESULTS OF THE CENSUS, MANY A PEOPLE WILL SAY THEY HAVE BEEN DOCTORED ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THE FORMS WERE COMPLETED USING PENCILS

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE RESULTS ON PC OWNERSHIP AND INTERNET PENETRATION AND COMPARE WITH WHAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN QUOTED

WALUBENGO --- ATA SISI TUNATABULIKANA

Cheerers all
