Why do you have a gmail or yahoo account. Why can't you open an email account hosted in Kenya .. If you cant get one continue using PO Box will somebody comes up with one. STOP using FOREIGN SERVICES Secondly you also contribute local content from your phone, tablet PC ETC .. Why place it in domains hosted abroad in the name of facebook, instagram and twitter .. .. STOP USING FOREIGN DOMAINS ... Print it and hang it in Yaya or Sarit Centre notice boards until someone comes up with a social media site hosted in Kenya I think its time people stopped looking at the Internet like a geographical map ... The Internet has no boundaries. On 15 July 2014 14:12, Joseph M.
