[kictanet] NGO moves to court to stop free laptop for schools project

[robert yawe]

Hi,

I hope they produced their plaint on papyrus or hyacinth paper that had not been bleached and wrote on it with charcoal from a natural forest fire.

This advocacy thing it getting out of hand and at this rate we might have to start chaining ourselves to the court registry doors to stop these busy bodies, have they tabulated how many trees get cut down to produce paper and pencils?

Regards

A lobby group has moved to court to stop the government from issuing laptops to pupils joining class one in all public schools claiming the gadgets will cause harm to the environment.

Green Hand Organization ( GHO) raised concern that if the programme is implemented at once, the right to clean and healthy environmentenshrined in the constitution will be threatened.
