I nteresting statistics on the state of the Internet . Do we have critical mass? Bloggers great work! You guys are getting organized in a very meaningful way. What are the implications for businesses and organizations in general ? For me here are some:- 1. Organisations Government must have a #WhatsAppStrategy going forward 2. We love to watch video more than #Facebooking :-) 3. Instagram is interesting 4. Linkedin is certainly a must do for professionals looking to advance their careers and for businesses engaged in B2B and looking to recruit top talent 5. Twitter - punches way above its weight and politicians can afford to ignore it? #Maybe :-) 6. Snapchat s in its early days and Facebook i s for us #OldGeezers? :-) Interesting times ahead! *Ali Hussein* *Principal* *AHK & Associates* Tel: +254 713 601113 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: abu-jomo LinkedIn: http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim <http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim> 13th Floor , Delta Towers, Oracle Wing, Chiromo Road, Westlands, Nairobi, Kenya.

We should proceed with caution on the cybercrimes bill
by Grace Githaiga 14 Feb '18

14 Feb '18

Listers See Walu's blog in yesterday's Daily Nation. The Computer and Cybercrimes Bill of 2017 is before Parliament and undergoing public consultations. Whereas it does contain contentious clauses, we must be careful not to throw out the baby with the bath water. This is because the Cybercrimes Bill is one of the four pending bills that are required to usher in a true digital economy for Kenya. The other three are the Data Protection Act, the Electronic Transactions Act and the Copyright Act.
