[kictanet] Two videos on Network Coverage in Bungoma and Kitui Counties, and in Turkana and Marsabit

Wed Sep 11 14:16:46 EAT 2019

Bwana Wambua,

Thanks for the update, greatly appreciated.

I have a few queries though, I took the liberty to analyse the data and
below are my observations (based on population data from Census 2009
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counties_of_Kenya>): -

   1. What criteria was used to select the schools?
   2. There appears to be a disproportionate allocation, with some counties
   receiving much more than others yet atleast one county receiving none.

See anaylsis on* this LINK

Twahir
