Published on September 24, 2019, the idea of giving out census tablets to youths and enumerators has gained traction in Kenya.
Following the recent census exercise, Kenyan public universities assembled the used tablets, which some believe should be given to the youths and enumerators who worked tirelessly to make the exercise a success.
The tablets, which were used to collect data during the census, could be a valuable resource for the youths and enumerators to advance their knowledge in technology and even start their own businesses.
According to some, the distribution of the tablets will be better than keeping them in storage until the next exercise, which takes a long time to be repeated.
Additionally, the tablets could contribute to the Education ministry's Digital Literacy Programme, providing a valuable resource for the youths and enumerators.
There are numerous benefits to giving out the tablets to the society, including reducing the risk of theft or damage due to harsh weather elements and degeneration with time.
