[Mwathi Francis]

Kigali — The government of Rwanda may lose Rwandese Francs 155m if the
requirements needed to operate equipment Public Information Kiosks (PIK) are

The equipment is practically not functioning due to low connectivity among
others.

A PIK unit is basically composed of a computer, a kiosk frame, a kiosk touch

computer and is a typical web and internet based system that operates under
site-kiosk software.

The Kiosks are currently run by Rwanda Development Board (RDB).
