That is not true Wamaitha. We love local content. It's more relevant to us.
The problem is, hapakenya is not my home page. 90% of Kenyans homepage is
google.co.ke ... google.com. How many times have I wanted to know what fun
activities to do for my family in a weekend but I have no access to such
info. Even when I get to sites who specialize on the same, I find they have
not updated. So for content providers, continue producing, every day
Content is like farming. Farmers plant, harvest, sell, go back to plant,
harvest, sell. And search engines love updated new content. But the
progress is good. We are not where we were 5 years ago. Like Elimu TV now
enables KCPE students to revise using whatsapp. How cool can anything be
than that?
