I picked up one of the previous years surveys before. As far as I
know, you have to go down to the KNBS offices and pay 1000 Ksh if
you want a copy - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.knbs.or.ke/econsurvey.php">http://www.knbs.or.ke/econsurvey.php</a><br>

I am not aware of a digital version. Shame really, that this vital
document is not made publically available online...<br>

<div>Could it be that ICT is bundled together with Transport and
Communications? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Another point that I found disappointing is that there is no
indication of the huge impact mobile money transfer systems have
had on the economy. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also disappointing is the lack of data for electricity
penetration levels across the country.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The presentation also seems to ignore Tertiary education in
the country. This is a key area where we seem to be loosing
interest in... </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I commend the specific mentions in energy policy
interventions. That's a step in the right direction. I am
however disheartened by the lack of mention on education as a
special emphasis issue for policy interventions. </div>

<div>Patrick, thanks for bringing to our attention this issue. Is

<div><span>I just went through the highlights of the
Economic Survey 2012 with a level of disappointment
albeit expected. Once again, I see no profound
indications or recognition that ICT is a key contributor
to the economic growth. Which brings me to the point, is
there any data on the the ICT sector? <br>
</span></div>
<div><span></span><br>
<span></span></div>
<div><span>In more than one occasion, I've been had to look
for data e.g., how many companies, number of employees,
revenues (local and exported), types of services, tax
contribution etc. If these numbers are not reflected yet
we have this as one of the key pillars in the Vision
2030 how can we measure progress or plan for
interventions? <br>
