Identify and analyse laws/policies that have been enacted in line with the Fifth Schedule of 2010 Constitution, teasing out their strengths and weaknesses in promoting Freedom of Expression and of the media 2. Identify and analyse laws/policies that have not been changed and hamper freedom of expression and of the media in Kenya 3. Examine existing institutional frameworks pointing out their strengths and weaknesses in promoting Freedom of Expression 4. Examine the impacts of non-media specific laws which effectively limit media freedom 5. Provide sound and effective policy recommendations on undertaking wholesome reforms Please find attached the concept note and confirm your availability with Tracey Ishmael (tracy(a)article19.org) or call +254727862230. Kind Regards, Riva From: "KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions" <kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> To: riva(a)article19.org Cc: "Mose Karanja" <mosekaranja(a)gmail.com> Sent: Friday, August 14, 2015 6:23:30 AM Subject: [kictanet] Overhauled NetNeutrality Website The Global Net Neutrality Coalition has overhauled its website . Key takeaways: 1. A generally agreed upon definition of Net Neutrality in 17 languages; 2. An interactive map that shows the status of Net Neutrality around the globe; 3. A model policy framework developed by the Dynamic Coalition on Network Neutrality for crafting legislation and regulations; 4. Resources for global advocates fighting for a free and open Internet. The FCC in the US recently created the Open Internet Rule, the EU (28 countries) is almost there with the Digital Single Market and individual countries are busy debating this major issue on the future of Internet. I know some countries in Africa are busy on this too. However, despite there being a host of African partners in the thisisnetneutrality network (including KICTANet), none but two African countries have been featured citing ‘Research Pending’. This also happens with other indices like the Freedom House’s Internet Freedom Index and Amnesty’s. This is one area research institutions in Africa can fill up.

Kenya lost Sh15bn through cybercrime last year
by Grace Githaiga 29 Oct '15

29 Oct '15

Kenyan firms lost Sh15 billion through cybercrime last year, with the public sector being the most affected, a new report says. The report states that despite efforts by the government to fight cybercrime, Kenya is still ill-equipped.Mechanisms for successfully fighting, tracking and calculating cybercrime losses are not well established, the report says.It notes that most attacks are committed by staff and are very sophisticated, taking at least 120 days to detect.Other common attacks are telecommunications threats, social media, online and mobile banking, mobile money fraud and cyber espionage. http://www.nation.co.ke/business/Kenya-lost-Sh15bn-through-cybercrime-last-…

Fwd: [Internet Policy] IPU Resolution on democracy, privacy, and mass surveillance
by Barrack Otieno 27 Oct '15

Listers, This might be usefull to some listers. Regards ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Richard Hill <rhill(a)hill-a.ch> Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2015 16:36:27 +0100 Subject: [Internet Policy] IPU Resolution on democracy, privacy, and mass surveillance To: internetpolicy(a)elists.isoc.org The Inter-Parliamentary Union is the organization that comprises many of the world's parliaments. It is not well known, but it has recently adopted some resolutions that should be of interest. In particular, a new resolution on Democracy in the Digital Era and the Threat to Privacy and Individual Freedoms, see: http://www.ipu.org/conf-e/133/Res-1.htm Operational paragraph 3 underscores that legislation regarding surveillance must be based, inter alia, on the principles of necessity and proportionality. I believe that this is the first example of a global state institution explicitly adopting those principles (but I believe that some European court judgments also mention both principles). Paragraph 4 calls for removing limitations on freedom of expression (as does paragraph 17) and upholding the principle of net neutrality. Again, I believe that this is the first example of a global state institution explicitly adopting the principle of net neutrality. Paragraph 7 basically calls for an end to current mass surveillance practices. Other paragraphs of the resolution are also significant. Information on the IPU is at: http://www.ipu.org Best, Richard _______________________________________________ To manage your ISOC subscriptions or unsubscribe, please log into the ISOC Member Portal: https://portal.isoc.org/ Then choose Interests & Subscriptions from the My Account menu. -- Barrack O.

http://students.kuccps.net/downloads/FirstRevisionManual2015.pdf All payments for application MUST be made through MPESA as explained in step 4 of the procedure. Any other mode of payment will NOT BE ACCEPTED. Perhaps listers with legal expertise can advise - surely it's illegal for a service to be denied where the payment can be made using legal tender issued by the Central bank of Kenya?
