[kictanet] Taifa Laptop

[Job Muriuki]

I wouldn't mind the government doing the same for locally manufactured
products. The laptop might not be the best but it's a step in the right
direction. Our Kenyan economy needs to be jump started and if making us
support projects is the way to ensure we created a sustainable employment I
don't mind.
Look at Mobius, we are all focusing on how ugly the car looks forgetting
the employment opportunities it stands to create.
