If you can sell 1.3 M laptops for 8500 KSh you'll get the thender ;-p On Thu, Oct 17, 2013 at 11:34 AM, Bwana Lawi <mail2lawi@gmail.com> wrote:

Nation has slightly different <http://www.nation.co.ke/news/Government-cancels-tenders-for-laptop-project/-/1056/2036152/-/ic50gl/-/index.html>(correct?) numbers. "The lowest bidder quoted a price of Sh32 billion against an anticipated budget of Sh12 billion, creating a deficit of Sh20 billion,” said Mr Kaimenyi 20B is the deficit. Anyway, here is the breakdown of the bidders: HP Commercial (lowest bidder) - Sh32 billion Chinese company Huawei PTE Ltd (highest bidder) - Sh60.5 billion. Samsung Electronics - Sh39.1 billion Symphony Technologies - Sh38 billion Haier Technologies - Sh34 billion ZTE Corporation - Sh33 billion Telcom Kenya - Sh32 billion And yes, it's Telcom Kenya, not Telkom Kenya. I hear there is a difference I'm thinking, since these 2 Kenyan companies must be subcontracting, unless we have started building the laptops, why not go directly to their subcontractors? Either way, this money was going outside. And don't tell me about investing in local companies. That'd be bull in this scenario On Thu, Oct 17, 2013 at 12:59 PM, motobaridi <motobaridi@gmail.com> wrote:

I would much rather the government bought android tablets instead of laptops. With an order of 1.3M pieces I am certain it is quite possible to create tablets for under 9,000Ksh. On Thu, Oct 17, 2013 at 2:18 PM, Christian Ledermann < christian.ledermann@gmail.com> wrote:
