[Kipsang Joseph, Standard]Numerous stories have been told about the devastation caused by Covid-19 pandemic in the past 12 months.

Online tourism was now the way to go, with people in far places able to follow even the annual wildebeest migration. According to Moses Kemibaro, the founder and chief executive of Dotsavvy Ltd, a digital business agency that provides integrated digital business solutions, some of the e-commerce platforms saw their sales triple during the pandemic.
