THIEVES SMILING AHEAD OF LAPTOP WINDFALL

-

Still with the Ministry of education, we have gathered street intelligen­ce that those guys who thrive in disarming people of their valuable properties are mapping up strategies of breaking into schools to get the windfall of laptops being lined up for students. Recently government announced that students and teachers will be given laptops and with the gadgets set to flood the streets in the mornings and afternoons when students go to and from school, one would expect the grabbers to be lying in wait. Kana e bile our students never go straight home – they play around along the way and the laptops will be vulnerable. Any attempt by authoritie­s to force students to leave the laptops at school for safety will be counterpro­ductive – it will defeat the very purpose the laptops are being introduced in the first place. And this is what the thieves are looking forward to. They are on grand plans to breach the security in schools and get the gadgets easy and in bulk. We hope the counter thievery agencies are also working out a counter strategy. Go tlile go nna busy.
