ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I give our utmost thanks to our almighty God for he has provided me with the means to this end. I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Onyango my course lecturer for his relentless assistance in perusing through my work and suggesting some of the very critical changes which have seen me get through with the study. I am grateful to Mr. Joshua Omondi and for their positive criticism of our work. I believe their criticisms have added some value in this work.

Last but not least, I acknowledge with thanks the role-played by my respondents in making this study a reality. Also not to be left out is Mr. Paul and Job who supported me greatly in the computer lab and anybody else who directly or indirectly supported during my research study period. I wish them God’s blessings.
