I agree with Oliver,

There are other small firms that have a way practicing knowledge management than safaricom and top companies.

This reminds me of Kengens taking engineering interns to be messengers of the bosses, and call it experience!! :)

Safaricom is not then only place where someone can gain experience. There are thousands of companies who have the Same thing to offer if not better. As a matter of fact try get a smaller company for experience as opposed to a big one, your effort bears more recognizable fruits sooner and you get to do more hands on work there. Big companies have a tendency to absorb people who then end up as ceremonial IT attaches messenger in departments than learning students.

That's my believe and have seen it every where .

If you can, do a technical masters in SA with an attachment at an SA tech firm. Get out of Kenya and see what more there is. 

Why SA? Because Europe or US will suck you in and I’ll invite the wrath of fellow skunks/skunkettes.

Why a technical masters? Because standards are higher in SA than in Kenya and a bachelors degree is not enough. Not in this day and age. The attachment will expose you to industrial standards that most schools are not privy to.

If you do stay in Kenya, try and get into Safaricom whose size implements IT at substantial levels. There may be others (feel free to enlighten me) but that’s all I know.
