CA’s Position on Service Provider’s exclusive deals with MDU Owners.
by Collins Areba 24 Sep '18

24 Sep '18

Good evening Listers, Hope you are having a good weekend. => Ill be short and to the point: Say there is a large residential neighbourhood V.R. With a significantly large number of tenants: => Then a provider S, who wields considerable sway on the management of V.R. => Lets say there are clients , living in V.R who are interested in getting service from a different provider B. and B, on approaching V.R is told that they have signed an exclusive deal with S, to disallow anyone from accessing the market at V.R. It obviously can be argued either way considering there is a Willing Buyer, Willing Seller agreement there, But What exactly does CA have to say about this? I ask because some providers wield enough financial muscle to actually buy out my County and sign an exclusive deal with my Governor, preventing me from operating in my own backyard…. For now though, think of places like Nyayo Highrise, Nyayo Embakasi, Konza, Vipingo Ridge, etc. Regards, Collins Areba, Kilifi, Kenya. Tel: +254 707 750 788 / 0731 750 788 Twitter: @arebacollins.

KENIC boardroom wars must not spill into public
by Grace Bomu 21 Sep '18

21 Sep '18

Listers, The KENIC saga was in the papers today >From the leaked letters, it appeared DRAKE was complaining to the Communications Authority (CA) that the KENIC board affairs are not being run above board, but more specifically, that the position of chairman has never gone to them. I could not trace the current constitution of KENIC to ascertain how the current chairman of the KENIC board is appointed but previously, KENIC has served as the best reference point for multi-stakeholder governance systems.

Intermediary liability law in African countries (and the AU)
by nicolo zingales 20 Sep '18

20 Sep '18

Greetings everyone, I am new to the channel, so apologies if I have missed any relevant discussion on this. I signed up to consult this group on recent developments on intermediary liability in Africa. As you might know, APC had a few papers in 2012 on intermediary liability in Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and Uganda <https://www.apc.org/en/node/15623/>. I also wrote for them a report on best practices for intermediary liability in 2013 <https://www.apc.org/sites/default/files/APCInternetIntermediaryLiability_Be…>. Following from that, I have been recently contacted to write a chapter for an upcoming Oxford handbook on intermediary liability, which looks back into developments on the subject over the last few years in Africa (2012-2018). I want this to be as complete and accurate as possible, but the material I have been able to find online regarding new laws and court decisions is rather limited. I would therefore be very grateful to any of you who took the time to share, *in or off-list*, *notable developments in your country relating to liability of intermediaries* (in a broad sense: digital platforms, but also ISPs and other types of intermediaries, e.g. registrars and domain name operators, or payment companies). I would also be curious to hear of *any regulation or policy coordination relating to intermediaries in the context of the African Union*, which at the time I wrote the 2013 paper appeared to be a suitable forum to develop some common principles in this field. Has anything happened on that front? Thank you really very much in advance for anything you're able to contribute. I will be glad to share a copy of the chapter, as soon as it's feasible, with anyone who's interested. Best wishes, Nicolo

15% Excise Duty on Telephone and Internet Data Services
by kanini mutemi 20 Sep '18

20 Sep '18

Dear Listers, Here is an excerpt from the President’s Memorandum which is up for consideration before the National Assembly tomorrow. He proposes taxation of telephone and internet data services. Safaricom, Airtel, Telkom etc do you have a projection of what this could mean for your consumers? Now I am only but a simple lawyer, but I would think that this will enlarge the chasm between the haves and have nots in an already inequitable country. I wonder what this will mean for data costs, internet access and penetration levels, innovation, employment (esp for the youth) and generally keeping up with the new age. It was laughable when this was happening in Uganda, little did we know we were up next.

[CofekDigest] Statement on President Kenyatta's Rejection of Finance Bill, 2018

Dear All, We welcome President Kenyatta's explanation of why he rejected the Finance Bill. We, however, do not agree with him. He has missed the point. His prescriptions are informed by a wrong diagnosis of the problem. The issues are that the manner we craft our national budgets is wrong. The consumer versus production budget aspects are fluid and do not come out at all. We rely on non-existent revenue to approve huge and unnecessary expenditures. Second, a third of our budget goes to financing corruption and dubious pending bills. Third, incessant over-borrowing appetite has got the country into repaying in excess of Sh70 billion monthly. That borrowing has been extended to more than 5 key local banks which are involved in corruption as evidenced on the NYS scam. Fourth, the Foreign Direct Investments are dwindling. Fifth, the tax base keeps declining. Sixth, the fiscal policy remains in sharp clash with the monetary policy. The two do not speak to each other over their incompatibility. We had hoped President Kenyatta would sign the Finance Bill 2018 as is and then call for review of the budget. The areas to cut budgets include non-revenue capital expenditures; a freeze on building the Standard Gauge Railway extension and a more serious and non-selective corruption fight. We are for instance disturbed that President Kenyatta's own relatives around him in State House have not been prosecuted long after they confessed to serious corruption. Countless parastatal bosses accused of corruption remain untouched. Some buildings standing on riparian land and road reserves are untouched.

Google, machine learning, and the right to a fair trial — New Zealand style
by WANGARI KABIRU 13 Sep '18

13 Sep '18

https://www.aei.org/publication/google-machine-learning-and-the-right-to-a-… Right to be forgotten....read on! "...... Dodgy data dealings down under Google has attracted a lot of controversy (notably in Europe) for the fact that its search engine is very good at finding any content that has ever been placed in the public searchable domain — including content on individuals who would prefer that it could be forgotten. However, last week in New Zealand, it was not its ability to find content but the efficacy of its own learning algorithms that came to the local media’s attention. The subject of their interest was a local murder trial. The two co-accused had been granted name suppression — one permanently and one until the trial began. But both claimed that their right to a fair trial would be compromised when the trial began. As the lawyer for the accused with permanent name suppression stated, Googling the revealed name would cause a link to an (apparently unrelated) news story about the other accused to be displayed, even though that person’s name was not included in the search terms. The Google result was deemed prejudicial: “These two defendants have been friends for a long time, they’ve both got a criminal history, but they’ve never been charged of an offence together — as far as the general public’s concerned they have no connection at all.” The lawyer was concerned that jurors might of their own volition Google the revealed name, thereby coming across the information about the unnamed accused, which might lead them to make decisions based on information not actually presented at the trial. Of course, the unspoken issue was that Google had — inadvertently and innocently — effectively published the identity of the accused with name suppression, thereby violating the court order. Google’s algorithms don’t forget It seems the two men have become intertwined in Google’s memory because police investigating the murder used the search engine to look for links between the two men as evidence for the trial. As Google is primed to take note of links made between previously independent search terms, predictably it remembered the police search patterns when nonpolice searchers subsequently entered just one of the names and helpfully returned the conjoined results to the next generation of searchers. To rule out the possibility that Google had simply remembered the identity of past searchers such as the police and the lawyer or the search history of a specific machine, an astute Radio New Zealand journalist adopted a new online identity and typed the name of one accused into a “clean” computer. The results were predictable and conclusive: Google’s learning algorithms had indeed embedded the link into new searches for just one of the terms......."

For months, Sanders has targeted Amazon, juxtaposing the wealth of CEO Jeff Bezos with reports that Amazon warehouse workers are paid less than industry averages and rely on food stamps. Bezos is the richest man in the world, with a net worth of more than $168 billion. "Our legislation gives large, profitable employers a choice: Pay workers a living wage or pay for the public assistance programs their low-wage employees are forced to depend upon," Sanders said of the proposed law. For example, if an Amazon worker received $2,000 in food stamps, Amazon would be taxed $2,000 to cover that cost. Amazon has previously called the Vermont independent's claims about working conditions in its fulfillment centers "inaccurate and misleading" and a spokesperson declined to further comment on the bill."
