[kictanet] Craze over mobile phone must be one Kenyan ‘peculiar habit’

[Grace Mutung'u (Bomu)]

Listers,
interesting view from someone who is not typically in these streets:

​

What this success story does not explain, however, is why Kenyans are
willing to invest in a mobile phone but not in other services, such as
sanitation.

Why has mobile phone connectivity gained more importance than toilets?

A recent survey by Afrobarometer shows that while 98 per cent of Kenyans
have access to a mobile phone, less than 20 per cent have access to proper
toilets.
