Grace and all

There is enough digital data in this country to tip an election. With over
6 million Facebook users (Maybe the FB team on this list can verify it),
with our own version of fake news and negative websites going up both for
and against the incumbents and the opposition, with Kenyans being one of
the most digitally savvy in the continent the stage is set for interesting
times.

One thing is for sure - We have enough digital data in this country to tip
an election.

We are now mainstream digitally. Fact.

Oh..And NASA also has the equivalent of CA on their side. :-) So this is
evenly matched when it comes to digital arsenals. All I can tell you guys
is this:-

Buy popcorn, a coke, or your other favourite drink and enjoy the show. Just
don't forget to vote for your favourite candidate!! Or Party! :-)
