There are an estImated 20J0 vendors present In the market most of whom rely

0ealers who combIned account for the bulk of CT 8usIness In Kenya estImated at
nearly 5060.
Dn average PC and PrInter vendors each have between three to four dIstrIbutors
and at least sIx other partners (dealers and systems Integrators) each at dIfferent
market levels.
t the lower part of the pyramId are TIer 2 7Fs and dealers, estImated to
number more than 100 players and whose focus Is part of the S|E segment, the
S||E and home user segment. These are players who typIcally do not have a
country wIde presence and would largely be found operatIng at a provIncIal level
or even a natIonal level (where S|Es have such a presence to requIre natIonwIde
servIces) but at a smaller scale nonetheless.
These TIer 2 fIrms are mostly Kenyan owned companIes servIng other Kenyan
owned busInesses and occasIonally securIng parts of relatIvely good contracts In
the government and educatIon segments, where procurement of goods or

": What type of skills are the graduates particularly
lacking?
When probed on the types of skills usually
lacking in graduates, companies cited
nnovative thinking, Problem solving and
Project management/implementation as the top
three skills that are lacking
Some of these findings were seconded by the
university interviewees which indicated lower
ratings on project management/implementation
skills and innovative thinking.
Based on some interviews with CT companies,
Business/ Soft skills were cited as lacking in
graduates as well as keeping up with
technology trends; the view was expressed that
the gap between theory and practice needs to
be bridged via mediums such as internships
