There are less than 98 000 newspaper readership in Kenya! Surprisingly, despite all the online noise and hullabaloo, there are less than 7000 participants on online fora! Incidentally there are over 17 million voters in the same country! So, if you think this is the way you will get your votes, think again!

NAIROBI, Kenya, May 5 – The future of newspaper readership in Kenya is on shaky ground. The circulation of daily English and Kiswahili newspapers have continued to decline owing to the growth online readership of news content, says a new study by Kenya National Bureau of Statistics.

Figuratively, the circulation of daily English newspapers in 2015 declined to 98,548 copies from 2014’s 102,000 marking a by 3.4 percent drop.

Kiswahili newspapers similarly continued to decline with only 5,209 copies sold on average down from 5,800 the previous year.

Online readership of news content was the big winner in the battle for readers with an average of 1.5 million online visitors per day that year up from 2014’s 1.02 million marking a 53.7 percent growth.

Weekly newspapers faced a similar challenge with the English newspapers for instance marking a 5.8 decrease to sell 14, 975 copies down from 15,900 copies.

This decline has been the same for four years in a row, according to the bureau.

Florence Omami, a Nairobi resident agrees with the data saying that since she acquired a Smartphone, she does not need a newspaper to keep up with news as the same information is available on the touch of a button.

Hapa lazima niulize: where did you get that figure? Ktalk alone boasts 11,000 members, and I estimate 5,500 could be unique, the rest being spare handles of @Bingwa, @Deorro, @Ghetto, @wakanyake, etc.

There you have it…double agent, fuko; mole.

Hehehe!
Hawa hata tukiwadanganya hakuna hasara!

Na hata kama wako 2 million online readers like my efidens says, Kenyan registered voters were 14 million in 2013, expected to rise to 17 million this year. Majority of those voters are never near a newspaper or any semblance of a smartphone. Perhaps TVs and radios.

That’s why I was giggling before falling asleep last night, imagining that screenshot of Ahmednasir’s Twitter poll. Jubilee lost 40% - 60%, but the ‘voters’ do not even know who the opponent will be!
