@y lets take a sample. How many people do you know who bought the safaricom laptops? I only know one. In a country where more than half of the families survive on less than sh 80 a day, its not easy to sell 1m +35k laptops. How many kenyans are IT literate anyway to the extent of buying laptops and 3g modems? Btw to say that 20m kenyans own phones may not be right. Its based on the assumption that there are 20m active subscribers and each owns a phone. many people esp in urban areas own two or more phones or dual sims. I have 2, my boss has 3.

@Sparkly....I also think 1Million is sort of impossible.Unless they were selling to corporates or something.One laptop for every 40people is simply too high.Plus out of the 50% Kenyans who own phones....I think 80% own phones worth less than 7,000sh.

@bird_man if MJ said they've sold a million laptops then they've sold a million laptops... Period...

The question is... is Daily Nation misquoting MJ?

MJ has no reason to lie... If he says 1 million... I believe him too lakini do I believe Daily LyingNation? NO...

[BTW, Daily LyingNation does not quote MJ on the 1mn laptops. It ASSumes it...]

I agree Safaricom could not have sold 1 million laptops. If safaricom had sold 1 million laptops and they make a very very small profit of 1000 per machine that would definitely appear in their book cause thats a profit of 1 billion and the turnover will be over 35 billion.
Point 2 with 1 million laptop we would have one of the highest computer penetration on Africa and anyway the total computer sales in Africa and the middle east is estimated to be about 17million.

What for? Those idiots are government employees... I use Zairtel but Safaricom customers can move away... why don't they?

Kwani MJ has a gun to our heads?
