Hello Wamuyu Thank you for your helpful correction. I have noted this, and will make this correction in my forthcoming book manuscript. I can also write a letter to the editor if you would like.

Invitation to a Cybercrime against women meeting on 18th May 2010 University of Nairobi, Chiromo Campus.
by alice＠apc.org 17 May '10

17 May '10

Dear colleague Invitation to a Cybercrime against women meeting on 18th May 2010 University of Nairobi, Chiromo Campus. The Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet) is pleased to invite you to a lunch meeting to be held on 18th May from 12.00 to 14.30 at the University of Nairobi, Chiromo Campus to share and explore issues of cybercrime against women. Cybercrime against the person and in this case the woman is real and is rising. Unfortunately, all the efforts to understand the vice focus on the cyber crime against property and against governments. The only other notable effort against the person is against the child. While cyberspace have provided secure tools and spaces where women can enjoy their freedom of expression, information and privacy of communication, the same benefits of anonymity and privacy also extend to those who employ ICTs for criminal activities and use the internet to commit violence against women. The use of mobile phones and internet to stalk, abuse, traffic, intimidate and humiliate women is palpable in developing countries including Kenya. The lack of specific cybercrime/cyber security legislation makes it even more difficult to punish those who use ICTs tools to conduct violence against women. Kenya Communications (Amendment) Act 2009 focused on the cybercrime against property and not the person. Kenya is not alone but that is not a consolation. With increased use of internet in Kenya with the onset of broadband, it is necessary to create the necessary policy / regulatory and the operational framework to reign in the vice. KICTANET has launched a study on the vice whose research questions are: 1. What is the prevalence of cybercrime against women in terms of degree, level, quantity, and distribution? 2. How does cyber crime affect women differently? (Demonstrate spiral effect and determine if women are already intimidated by cyber space e.g. mailing lists, how active do women participate in debates? Is the design of the cyber already woman unfriendly?) 3. What are the current measures and gaps (technological, legal, social, and psychological) to address cyber crime against women (local, regional, and global)? Map the efforts (lessons of best practice). 4. What mechanisms are appropriate for addressing cyber crime against women? Programme Venue: University of Nairobi, Chiromo Campus Arziki restaurant Date: May 18th, 2010 1200-1215: Registration 1215-1230 Welcome and introductions Lunch served 1230- 1400: presentation of real life cyber crime case Short presentation on cyber crime Discussions 1400 - 1410 Way forward

Re: [kictanet] [picta-kenya] Fwd: Techmtaa: Latest News Updates - including "We are Simply Being Punished For Being Successful, Michael Joseph"
by Shem Ochuodho 12 May '10

Ndugu Robert, Thanks sharing. A good piece (interview) by any measure! For sure Safaricom in its ‘short’ lifespan has done great work; but at whose expense? The prices for communication services (especially Internet) remain arbitrarily high, even with the arrival of the much touted undersea cables. The Hon. Minister's press release today is quite timely; it helps calm the waters. But the fundamental problem remains. Some tough (but non-harmful) decisions must be made. The prices remain beyond the reach of the majority. Perhaps consumer protection should have been included with the Bill of Rights in the new Katiba! That way we would have said: "we can see light at the end of the tunnel". For now, the tough decisions and the fight are deferred; to another day.

A quick one-I need your expert views

Hi guys, I am seeking your views that shall inform an article to appear on The Standard soon. Do you think Kenya is on the track as regards pushing ICTs to the rural areas? Am thinking of Digital villages and such like projects Is there anything to brag about Kenya's e-government initiatives? Cite examples What became of the Kenya's ICT centres of excellence and the mobile computer labaratories? Are NGOs out there reaping from ICTs? Please cite an example. The governement has been talking a lot about shared services in government through ICT. Are there tangible benefits so far or how far is the process? Are cybercafes safe from technology onslaught? What do people go to do in cybers of late with all the modems and wireless networks all over? Disclaimer: I'll assume any comments I recieve are meant for publication unless otherwise stated. Please indicate your name, preferred title and organisation you represent. Ahsanteni sana. -- James Ratemo ICT reporter, The Standard Newspaper, P.O Box 49990-00100, Nairobi Cell Phone: 0724960649 OR 0733876343 Other Emaili-jratemo(a)standardmedia.co.ke or jamrats2001(a)yahoo.com Website:www.ictcradle.com.

Hi badru Your concern on harmonisation is pertinent. It is indeed a cornerstone of eac initiative towards the single market, and eventual political federation . In this regard eac has commisioned studies in the last two years to review and develop a framework for policy and regulatory harmonisation funded by EU. In addition itu is doing a similar activity for SSA with a component of eac. What i think we need to see is the outcome of this effort and better still a process to engage the actors in the ecosystem Cheers ____________ Muriuki Mureithi Summit Strategies Ltd sent from my mobile device ________________ Reply Header ________________ Subject: Re: [kictanet] THE KENYA COMMUNICATIONS (RADIO COMMUNICATIONS AND FREQUENCY SPECTRUM) REGULATIONS, 2009 Author: "Badru Ntege " <ntegeb(a)one2net.co.ug> Date: 11th May 2010 20:17 I was wondering how much work if any has been done in trying to harmonise these regulations within the EA region.

Orange Now Wants GoK to Pay It US$385m, the Price it Paid for Telkom Kenya
by Shem Ochuodho 11 May '10

11 May '10

Privatization of Telecom Services is Africa is litred with many failures, and sometimes, horror stories. In Tanzania, Celtel pulled out of TTCL after acquring a substantial stake (30%?). In Rwanda, Rwandatel had first to be re-possessed before finally being re-privatized - after initial investor failed to bring in the promised technology and capital. In Zambia, I understand (yet to confirm) that the 'strategic partner' even cannibalized vital elements of the core network already in place. I have always had reservation on privatization of strategic infrastructure state corporations, as I did with Telkom Kenya. While Ghana Telecom attracted US$ 900 million for 70% stake (itself a matter contested by the then opposition - now Govt), TKL attracted a paltry US$ 300 million for 51%! With simple Arithmetic, one should see why TKL ought to have fetched better - assuming they were at per with GhanaTel. Intuitively, TKL should have been a superioir enterprise! Sadly, now Orange even wants GoK to refund $385m; if that was to happen, essentially TKL would have been sold for nothing - yes, absolutely ZERO! Yet what did we see for it: the sending home of 19,000 strong workforce with 'death-shakes' (not hand-shakes)! What is going on here?

Fw: Globe & Mail Africa Special

A Canadian newpaper, Globe & Mail, looks at Africa's potential ahead of the upcoming G8 Summit in Canada. Enjoy! ________________________________ From: "Louis March" <kingtut(a)sympatico.ca> Date: Mon, 10 May 2010 23:06:38 -0400 To: <Undisclosed-Recipient:;><Invalid address> Subject: Globe & Mail Africa Special Hello ACHA members and supporters, The Globe and Mail newspaper ran a special issue on Africa today, Monday, May 10th. It features a wide and diverse series of articles about the continent....its problems, opportunities, possibilities, future outlook, amongst many other perspectives. I tried collecting copies along my travels today and there was not much left in the stores. Fortunately, you can view the special issue on internet at the following link. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/g8-g20/africa/ I understand that the G&M will continue to feature articles on Africa, up to the G8/G20 meetings in Toronto in late June. Keep an eye out for these articles. One ACHA parent and supporter took a look and described today's G&M issue as being very 'comprehensive'. A professor from the University of Toronto told me that 'until Africans in the diaspora realize that Africa is their true homeland and then commit to significant investment and emigration....Africa will continue to be held ransom by post-colonial wickedness, capitalistic exploitation and human suffering'. Fighting words that carry plenty clout and insight. Anyways.....try and get a copy of todays Globe and Mail and if not possible....feast on the many articles and perspectives, available in this link: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/g8-g20/africa/ 'However far a stream flows, it never forgets its source' ---- Drumbeats of Black Africa - A Collection of African Proverbs Respectfully, Louis March ACHA - Communications www.achaonline.org

Stop the bus, initiate youth Centres
by robert yawe 10 May '10

10 May '10

Hi, It is interesting how the government can hoodwink us, I thanked the minister of education on the issue of the ICT buses now I see that the project has been baptised to Youth Centres that are supposed to incorporate a cyber with 15 computers, a VST centre, leisure centre and indoor games all at the staggering cost of 17 million each. It is claimed that the initiative is a joint effort between the ministry of youth affairs and the CDF, as of the reporting the ministry had already set up 5 centres in Central Province. You definitely cannot control a government, it does what it wants when it wants, I hope some of this issues have been covered in the new constitution.

Call for Proposals: Commissioned Papers on ICTs, Climate Change and Development
by alice＠apc.org 08 May '10

08 May '10

** Please forward to relevant colleagues ** This is a call for proposals for the writing of commissioned papers on the topic of ICTs, climate change and development. Proposals should be sent by 25 May 2010. BACKGROUND Recognising both the growing impact of climate change in developing countries and the growing role of ICTs, Canada's International Development Research Centre is funding a two-year project on ICTs, climate change and development (see www.niccd.org) The project is co-ordinated by the University of Manchester's Centre for Development Informatics. As part of the project, six thematic papers will be commissioned and written during 2010 on various aspects of this topic. The papers should be 6,000-10,000 words in length, in English, and aimed at a "reflective practitioner" audience by summarising current evidence and then producing best practice strategic recommendations. We are looking for "generic" papers that draw evidence from, and relate to, all developing countries; rather than individual region, country or project case write-ups. Primary research is not expected. The papers should build on the Scoping Study produced recently as part of the project - http://www.niccd.org/resources.htm - which reviews current literature on ICTs, climate change and development (ICCD). Section 4 of this document identifies six ICCD thematic areas - mitigation, monitoring, adaptation, strategy, disaster management/response, and ICT impacts and issues. We would be happy to receive proposals against these thematic areas but we are also happy to receive proposals suggesting alternative ICCD themes and alternative ways of conceptualising the field. PROCESS / TIMESCALE We require proposals to be sent electronically by 25 May 2010, and aim to confirm accepted proposals by mid-June. First drafts of the papers will be due by the end of September 2010. Final drafts will be due by the end of November. One author per paper will be invited (and funded) to attend a discussion and presentation workshop on ICCD to be held in London in mid-December. The finalised copy of the paper will be made available online and disseminated via the project network. It is also our intention to publish the papers as part of a book to be produced at the end of the project in 2011, and to produce a strategy brief summarising the paper. PAYMENT Authors will be contracted by the University of Manchester to produce a draft version of the thematic paper, followed by a finalised version that acceptably meets quality requirements following draft review comments. We will also seek authors' input to revision for the proposed book and to summarisation for strategy brief production. A payment of £1,200 will be made on acceptance of the draft paper, and a further payment of £2,400 on acceptance of the finalised paper. PROPOSAL Proposals should be sent to: niccd.project(a)googlemail.com by 25 May 2010. They should consist of the following: a) Title of proposed paper, and author(s) b) Outline structure of paper including section and sub-section headings c) 300-500 word executive summary of paper's rationale, focus and content d) Two-page CV for each proposed author focusing particularly on past publication and contract research experience in ICCD or related areas You are welcome to contact us in advance of the deadline if you have any queries. This call can be found at: http://www.niccd.org/themecall.htm Richard Heeks & Angelica Ospina Climate Change, Innovation and ICTs Research Project

Safcom vs the Rest? Or is it a Case of Ownership Model
by emmanuel.khisa＠kadet.co.ke 06 May '10

06 May '10

There seems to be alot of heat regarding the new regulations, quite frankly the three other players aside from Safaricom are just not getting some things right, in the process they are engaging themselves in this defeatist celebration. I live it to time to inform us on who will really win in this war. My contention with the whole local Telco Industry is the infiltration of the Foreigners. I dare say here that no more than 49 percent of our mobile network operators should be owned by foreigners. The evidence is all clear, companies run by majority local holding have much better understanding of consumer needs and local dynamics and this visible in banking the Equity Banks, KCB, Family Bank. So that while the big multinationals come in reep big monies and leave, the local entities focus on reaching the remote villages. If anyone recalls isnt that the same strategy Safaricom employed and nailed it when the then KENCELL was too busy with focussing on urban elite. I therefore am of the view that next telcomms and generally ICT licensing whose target is to change the local game must not allow these Foreign Acquisition. I may be wrong but since the 90s am yet to see a local entity taken over by foreigners that stood strong there after....and sadly many cases stand as witness...Africa Online, RVR, Telkom..(Can I say Telkom again)...far too many excuses, very little to write home about. So the root is in the ownership model at inception or at acquisition. I suggest that we move from 30% local ownership to 51%+ in order to have some semblance of control in what these foreign boards are deciding for this market. Whether that is practical I don't know. Finally if MJ is reading this email, I'd urge, ignore the detractors and do what you do best, solutions to the market that make sense. DON'T GET TIED DOWN in trying to state your case. Majority of Kenyans are behind,,, :-) Just spoke like a politician there!

Tender for Supplying Video Conferencing Equipment to Govt of Southern Sudan (2nd Call)
by Shem Ochuodho 06 May '10

06 May '10

Hi, Some of you may recall that sometimes in February, GoSS published a tender call for the supply and installation of VC Equipment. Unfortunately, the 3 short-listed eligible companies that responded either under the misconception that the global economic sanctions against the Sudan affect Southern Sudan (Southern Sudan is exempted), or fearing certainity or otherwise of the outcome of the just ended elections all backed-out last minute. Because the material project is about to come to an end, instead of re-advertising (which would take long), it has been proposed that quotations be directly soliticed from competent companies/suppliers. Should your company be eligible - or know one that is, contact Francis Muthuiya (NOT the sender).at muthuiyaf(a)yahoo.com URGENTLY. Rgrds, Shem, Juba
