[kictanet] KES 15.6 Billion Allocated to ICT

[Mwendwa Kivuva]

Are you sure David that the national ICT budget was 15.6B out of
3.31Trillion? Because that would be pure sorcery. That is an invisible
0.471% of the budget.

And how much does ICT contribute to the GDP?  Between 8% and 15% depending
on who you ask. Is ICT sector in Sub Saharan Africa the cow we are eager to
milk without feeding
