questionnaires were returned. Data collection was by use of open ended questions without any

limit giving the respondent greater depth of response from the respondents as compared to the

closed or structured questions as they are easy to analyze. Data was collected using

questionnaires which were analyzed quantitatively using descriptive statistics like frequency

distribution tables, figures, percentages and cumulative percentages. Validity was achieved

through test-retest method in BIDCO using 10 questionnaires. From the analysis the researcher

established since majority agreed with the variables under study they influence the choice of
