chief akiongea ni hivyo - the laptop project for schools is a total waste.

sorry, I was not thinking right - people still go hungry in kenya, our public healthcare is in a total mess, our housing sector is in shambles and unemployment keeps rising - and all some niggas think about investing in is some fancy laptops for poor kids.

to hell with the laptop project we don't need it, thanks @McReggae for making me see that,

As a Nairobi resident, am asking myself why people are opposing giving laptops to kids at Nairobi primary, Buruburu primary, Moi avenue primary, Lavington primary, Westlands primary, kasarani primary, Umoja primary, kibera Olympic, langata primary, Karen C primary and other govt schools. After all most private schools in nairobi, including the one my kids attend, have computer classes starting class one. Or you are worried that your watchmens' children, who go to govt schools, will be using laptops like your kids. I won't talk about rural counties but if governors can afford 53m for entertainment, then surely they can afford to build a few classes.
Also note that the age of desktops is gone, just like the one of landlines.

Why should they be given? Will they also be 'given' maintenance allowance?

Why is the government still funding schools?

This does not mean you should use such language with those you differ with.
You sound like a person looking down on those you differ with.

53b is enough to revamp agriculture or ensure each county gets a health centre worth 1b.No right thinking kenyan should support such a white elephant apart from Uhuruto and his ilk.
