Research has shown that there is a direct link between Information and Communication Technologies Infrastructure (ICTs) and per capita growth. In deed, there is growing consensus that because of rapid innovation, ICTs provide African countries a great opportunity to leap-frog the industrialization stage and transform their economies into information and knowledge economies that can enable them to compete in the global market. Indeed Kenya's current d raft ICT policy provides a vision for creating an enabled and knowledge-based society by using ICTs to improve the livelihoods of Kenyans and to optimize its contribution to the development of the economy through the availability of efficient, reliable and affordable info-communication services throughout the country.
