Kenya has a very diverse population that includes most major ethnic, racial and linguistic groups. Majority of the country’s population belongs to various Bantu sub-groups, with a significant number of Nilotes. Most Bantu’s are farmers and some prominent in Kenya include the Kikuyu, Luhya, Meru, Mjikenda, Swahili and Kisii people. Nilotes are second largest group in Kenya and they include the luos, Samburu, Maasai, Kalenjin and the Turkana people.

Cushitic people foam a small ethnic minority of about 2%, mostly represented by Oromo Somali speakers. In Kenya Swahili and English are official language in the various ethnic group. They are an entrepreneurial community and have establish themselves in business sectors, particularly in Eastleigh.

In Kenya we have nearly a total of 69 individual languages spoken in Kenya. The Kenya’s diversity is such that its largest ethnic group is the kikuyu making up for less than fifth of the country population. Kenya politics have been characterized by ethnic tensions and rivalry between the larger groups, devolving into ethic violence experienced in the 2007 -2008 Kenya crisis across.

In the recent Kenya census the figure below shows ethnic composition in Kenya as follows out of a total population of 38.6 million;

• Kikuyu 20%

• Luhya 14%

• Kalenjin 13%

• Luo 10%

• Kamba 10%

• Kisii 6%

• Mjikenda 5%

• Meru 4%

• Turkana 2.5%

• Maasai 2.1%

Around 9% of the population consists of smaller groups numbering 1% each while non-Africans groups Arabs, Indians and Europeans are estimated to total about 1%

Residents of the city of Nairobi have faced an analogue television switch off scare since late last one in 2012. The high court of Kenya however suspended this switch off until after the general elections which were held in March 2013. The court in Kenya asked the Consumer Federation of Kenya (CoFEK) and the Communication Commission of Kenya to deliberate and agree on a suitable date for the switch off of analogue television sets.

A concern was raised as regards the switch off that had been slated for December 2012. Only ten percent of Kenyan television owners have acquired the digital set boxes required for the digital move.  With this in mind, then many Kenyans would be locked of the election polls news during the last elections in Kenya. All the digital set top boxes in Kenya require a monthly subscription fee which goes as high as KSH 5,000 depending on the service provider you choose.

Currently there is an advert on television asking Kenyans to prepare for the digital move as the analogue televisions will be locked by December 2013. With a digital set box,  the images and sounds will be processed electronically and then transmitted in this format. The RRC- Regional Radio Communications Conference which was held in Geneva, Switzerland in 2006 set the 17TH of July 2015 as the deadline for all countries to have moved from analogue to digital migration. Analogue technology in Kenya is getting obsolete with time not to mention it is quite expensive to maintain. With digital television, Kenyan consumers are guaranteed of better sound and image quality. With the digital set boxes, other multimedia data and entertainment services will also be available in Kenya. The set top boxes decode the digital transmissions to a video signal so that they can be displayed on the television screens.

Most people in Kenya will not need to buy other television sets for this shift. If your television set has the audio and video outputs, you will just plug in the set box. For those whose sets do not have these outputs, they will unfortunately have to buy other television sets all together. This will be a rather financially draining move especially for those who have to buy new television sets in Kenya as well. The monthly subscription fee is always another hurdle that will prove too high for most Kenyans.

The analogue switch off in Kenya is first expected take place in Nairobi. Other towns all over the country will also face the same knife as time progresses.  Some of the set boxes currently available in the Kenyan market include GoTV, Startimes and Zuku.

Critics have also observed that most Kenyans who live under the poverty line will be locked out of watching television once this migration phase is completed.

Kenya is experiencing a lot of economic problems and the continuous lack of jobs s becoming rampant and growing to greater and higher levels. However, hardships can still be eliminated if only Kenyans find better ways of being more creative to make money. One of these ways is by venturing into the internet and getting the various opportunities that and jobs that are advertised daily.

Internet Marketing

The project is growing at higher levels and it simply involves inviting friends to like a certain page and sign up for a particular type of company. The trend is more important as it helps many friends inform other about opportunities that well paying hence helping the unemployed to find something constructive to invest in. The process simply one needs to attend seminars and get training from specialists on how to handle the various online applications.

Academic Writing

The job involves writing essays from a range of fields from engineering, history, business and religion. For one to venture into the business, internet connection and reliable computers are needed. New applicants can visit the purdue.owl for tutorial lessons and better ways of getting ideas needed to write quality essays.

Children are the future of any country. Stakeholders, beginning with the parents, relatives, neighbours, the society and the government, must take up their protective role owed to children.

Established in 2007, Childline Kenya was introduced under the ministry of Gender, Children and Social Development to help children in trouble in the country. The toll-free telephone number 116 was introduced so that Kenyans could use it to report cases of child neglect, physical or sexual abuse and child trafficking. This helps trigger necessary help or intervention.

In most cases, child neglect happens when parents leave minors at home unattended to look for casual jobs. In extreme cases, parents have been found deserting their children on the streets. Some force the minors to beg on the streets and bring the money back to them. Neglected children become easy prey for criminals seeking to recruit them into their heinous activities. They grow up hating the system and anyone else they deem responsible for their misfortunes. This eventually heightens insecurity.

Abused children are also likely to end up abusing drugs as they try to come to term with the effects of abuse. It is unfortunate that majority of sexual offenders are either parents, relatives or close friends. This affects them psychologically, physically and may end up being infected with sexually transmitted infections such as HIV and AIDs. Others are impregnated, opening another chapter of suffering, poverty and ridicule.

The national government and the county governments must lead the protection of children against predators and situations that threaten to kill their opportunities. The onus is on all Kenyans to let children be and protect them against all predators.

The internet bug has affected many Kenyans in the recent past. From cybercafés to internet enabled phones in Kenya, most Kenyans spend most of the better time surfing in the various online sites. Internet in Kenya is not only for social networking purposes but also serves an educative and entertainment purpose as well.

With the availability of personal computers in Kenya within the confines of your house, there is really no need to visit a cyber café these days. People have opted to install wireless fidelity internet cables in Kenya and can surf from the comfort of their homes. Most smart phones in Kenya these days can also be connected to personal computers via cables or Wi-Fi systems in Kenya and can be used to surf. For the unlucky few, there are modems from all the various mobile phone service providers in Kenya. On buying a modem in Kenya, you fit it in with the allocated S.I.M card, buy some credit, purchase internet bundles, and you are good to go. Some of the modems available in Kenya are:

Safaricom modem in Kenya

Safaricom Modems in Kenya are probably the most widely used modems in Kenya.  Safaricom networks in Kenya are widely pronounced all over and as such their speeds and networks are very reliable in any part of Kenya. You can access Safaricom modems from all the Safaricom outlets in Kenya, located in most major towns in the country.

In Nairobi, Safaricom modems can be purchased from Safaricom Center in Nairobi on I & M building along Kenyatta Avenue. The Safaricom modem goes for KSH 1000.

Orange network modem in Kenya

The new 3 G+ orange modems in Kenya have replaced the prior modems which were in use before on Orange Kenya. For Orange modem to be functional in Kenya, you have to buy a specific line from the Orange retail outlets found in major towns in Kenya.

In Nairobi, Kenyans can purchase orange modems from the Orange shop found near the Hotel Intercontinental, opposite the Holy Family Basilica along Kaunda Street off Parliament Road in Nairobi. The orange 3+ modem in Kenya sells for KSH 1000.

Alcatel Modem in Kenya

Well, unlike the other two modems in Kenya discussed above, Alcatel Modem is from the Alcatel Mobile Company in Kenya. The Alcatel modem in Kenya is a versatile modem that can accept all S.I.M cards from all service providers in Kenya. The Safaricom modem in Kenya only uses Safaricom S.I.M cards while the orange modems only use orange lines. Sadly, Alcatel modems in Kenya are not easily available. Try shopping in shops such as Ebrahims Electronics in Nairobi town on Kenyatta Avenue, you might be lucky to find an Alcatel Modem.

Did you know that the word modem is actually a short form for `MOdulator- DEModulator`? Well, if you didn’t know, now you do.
