[kictanet] Online Interview with PS Ndemo: Day 1 of 5 ICT in Education

[bitange at jambo.co.ke]

Wamuyu,
On connectivity, CCK will sort this out through the Universal Service
Fund.  From time to time we request some operators to lay infrastructure
where they are not able to make any returns.  In the next few days we
advertize the roll out of LTE and one of the requirement is coverage in
all 47 counties within 12 months.

On sorghum ugali is a business venture in content development.  The
private sector should take up this.  The last time we worked on Githeri
recipes, there were 110 different types.  These need to be in some recipe
application where you get recipes on demand for Ksh. 20.  Some 5 million
people cook every day.  Even if 1% sought the assistance of recipe content
daily, you will make a cool one million daily.  Let us not allow google to
take this.


Regards


Ndemo.

> On that note, I am looking for the recipe for sorghum ugali (google
