[kictanet] Can technology solve terrorist problems in Kenya?

[Barrack Otieno]

Mwendwa,

Our biggest challenge in achieving vision 2030 is in the Social and
Political pillar. We need a concerted effort that will ensure that we
are a value driven society, this is the only way we will tame social
vices that have resulted in the current mess we are in. That said it
can be done.
Technology is a means to an end not an end in itself.

Best Regards
