Google has released the year in search list and what Kenyans have been searching may come as a surprise.
It would be unnatural if Kenyans were not Googling about Covid because that happened to be on the top of the list. However, it seems that the pandemic obsession died down because the top two things that Kenyans have been searching the English Premier League and the U.S. elections were trending for some time.
Both searches make a lot of sense, it’s clear that Kenyans are football fanatics and at the same time the U.S. elections caught everyone’s eye because who didn’t want to see if Trump would be chosen again?
There were a lot of COVID related searches.
A lot of Kenyans wanted to know how to keep safe, the current situation in the country, wanted to track COVID announcements from the government and were also highly interested in Tanzania and how they were managing COVID despite the fact that they have not been tracking the numbers.
Additionally a number of Kenyans searched about the opening of schools, this came as the fifth most searched issue, with the schools reopening many have been wondering which protocols will be used to keep students safe.
