Listers News from Zim says that the Army Chief has declared Social Media activism as Cyber-Warfare. HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's army commander said on Friday that his soldiers will deal with threats from activists using social media to mobilise anti-government protests, the first time the military has commented on the demonstrations. Lieutenant-General Valerio Sibanda, the Zimbabwe National Army Commander, said in an interview with state-owned The Herald newspaper that social media activism was cyber warfare that the army would deal with. http://af.reuters.com/article/topNews/idAFKCN10G0Z0?sp=true Ali Hussein Principal Hussein & Associates +254 0713 601113 / 0770906375 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: abu-jomo LinkedIn: http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim "Discovery consists in seeing what everyone else has seen and thinking what no one else has thought". ~ Albert Szent-Györgyi Sent from my iPad Ali Hussein Principal Hussein & Associates +254 0713 601113 / 0770906375 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: abu-jomo LinkedIn: http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim "Discovery consists in seeing what everyone else has seen and thinking what no one else has thought". ~ Albert Szent-Györgyi Sent from my iPad

by Mark Kipyegon 05 Aug '16

Could someone kindly shed some light on the following. 1. With regards to Part IV Section 12, sub section 2, are there protections for legitimate information security research? Particularly my concern is with the reporting and disclosure of security vulnerabilities. 2. In Part IV Section 30 on the acquiring of tools; is the offence acquisition of said tools or in using such tools for illegitimate purposes?

Re: [kictanet] Cyber Security and Data Protection (Senate) Bill Viz Computer and Cyber Crimes Bill (Parliament) - Need for Harmonization

Hi Nanjira, Alex and Listers, I have perused the bill and have the following observations: 1. This bill is Sponsored by Hon Mutahi Kagwe Chairman of the Senate ICT Commitee whereas the Computer and Cybercrimes bill is Sponsored by Leader of the Majority Hon Duale 2. Both bills share the same objective, i have observed that Hon Duale's bill which was discussed on KICTANET last week is more punitive (Fines in Millions) while Hon Kagwe's is lenient (Fines are in hundreds of thousands. 3. I have observed that the Cyber Security and Protection Bill leans a lot towards critical Internet Infrastructure whereas the Computer and Cyber Crimes Bill focuses on Cyber crime and Child Online Protection, however both bills have strong emphasis on Cyber Security. 4. The Cyber Security and Protection Bill justifies the need for Cyber Security laws within the county government framework. 5. Overall both are good attempts but there is need for harmonization.
