A very good news (even though they were old news). I'd love to see the same happen to my country too. My government already stated that they will learn and possibly implement blockchain technology to help government-related task. But it is still a long way to go I suppose, no update on it so far. Kenya made a big step here. Congrats.

It's now April 27th, your latest shared news up there was the April 2nd (Nurse in Hand news), I suppose you could add more to this documentary of yours (if there is any).

Blockchains are the revolution on regions like Africa and South America, where the countries are more susceptible to be a prey of greedy foreigner investors, and it's good thing that is offering the world a new view in countries like Kenya and Angola!

I strongly suggest you keep making new topics for new informations and news, as people are more used at browsing different topics instead of coming back for the same, also the forum architecture does not favor too much when you edit, so we won't know for sure or it will be highlighted if it was you who updated or someone else that just posted on it.
