First, I would like to correct you. Our population is 49 million people, not 47 million people as you say here. Secondly, I would just like to remind you that you have an average mind just like your fellow Tanzanians here and everywhere else. You don't stop for a second to to reason or think beyond your noses.
There's something called "double registration" In short mtu anaweza kumiliki laini mbili au tatu ama hata zaidi ya Safaricom and at the same time ako na zingine za Airtel or Orange all registered. When CAK compiles data, it compiles the number of "subscribers" not the number of people who own mobile phones. Personally, I have two Safaricom lines and an Airtel line, all of them active. Does that make me "three people" at the same time? Under CAK data, Al these three lines that I own are listed as subscribers but the fact is that they are owned by one person. I know it's a bitter pill to swallow but the fact remains that mobile phone penetration in Kenya is higher than any other country in EA. Ugua pole
