Digital villages project rolled out [Kenya]
Each constituency will by the end of the year boast of at least five digital centres complete with computers and Internet connectivity in a government plan to bridge the IT gap. Safaricom, Telkom Kenya, Zain Kenya and Essar [Econet] telecoms are required to roll out the digital villages as the government implements part of the Kenya Communication Amendment Act 2009 which stipulates that the Communication Commission of Kenya (CCK) levies the operators a universal access Fund of one per cent of their total revenue for the project rollout. Safaricom has already embarked on the project and has put up 500 digital centres across the country.
