Not corruption! Here is something Good that Kenyan are doing better than the rest of Africa

If there is something that the rest of the world can copy from Kenyans, then I would say it is corruption. Show me a Kenyan who is not corrupt and I will extend Christmas to January.

But nobody likes our stinking corruption and so we have to look for something else to offer the world. It so happens there is something we are doing better than the rest of Africa.

President Uhuru Kenyatta has urged the rest of the continent to learn from Kenya’s experience in digital transformation to drive its agenda for integration, industrialization, structural transformation and economic diversification.

The President spoke on Tuesday when he opened the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) Africa Regional Electronic Commerce Week at the United Nations Headquarters in Gigiri, Nairobi.

He said his administration has been at the forefront in promoting the use of digital technology to enhance service delivery.

“This is evidenced by the substantial investment resources we have put over the years in the development of ICT infrastructure such as fibre-optic network connection between Kenya and the rest of the world, as well as the development of the national digital infrastructure that connects all counties in Kenya,” said the President.

The Head of State said the investment in ICT infrastructure development has led to enhanced use of technology to file tax returns through the iTax platform, issuance of government documents such as passports and visas through the e-citizen platform.

“I cannot fail to underscore the now world famous M-Pesa money transfer service, an innovation that has put Kenya on the global technology map,” said the President.
