9ata collection took place $ith the help of filling of *uestionnaires. The *uestionnaire
method has come to the more $idely used and economical means of data collection. The
common factor in all varieties of the *uestionnaire method is this reliance on ver#al
responses to *uestions, $ritten or oral. I found it essential to make sure the *uestionnaire
$as easy to read and understand to all spectrums of people in the sample. It $as also
important as researcher to respect the samples time and energy hence the *uestionnaire
$as designed in such a $ay, that its administration $ould not e&ceed !-" mins. These

9ata collection took place $ith the help of filling of *uestionnaires. The *uestionnaire
method has come to the more $idely used and economical means of data collection. The
common factor in all varieties of the *uestionnaire method is this reliance on ver#al
responses to *uestions, $ritten or oral. I found it essential to make sure the *uestionnaire
$as easy to read and understand to all spectrums of people in the sample. It $as also
!"
important as researcher to respect the samples time and energy hence the *uestionnaire
$as designed in such a $ay, that its administration $ould not e&ceed !-" mins. These
*uestionnaires $ere personally administered.
The first hand information $as collected #y making the people fill the *uestionnaires.
