The Cutting Edge

Writing from New Zealand, Pita Gitau says Kenyans need a lesson in mobile phone etiquette.

Says he: “It’s only in Kenya where people walk around with their phones in their hands, constantly fidgeting with them. Why can’t they put them in their pockets?

"While I understand that a model can be used for social glorification, I wonder why the phone firms can’t follow the standard global practice of signing up free handsets. It’s sad when what should be a free gadget is used to give a false social status.”

Have a proper day, won’t you!
