"NEW "State of Content Policy in Kenya
by David Indeje 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

Read KICTAnet's latest policy brief "State of Content Policy' which aims to address the state of content policy in Kenya, policy issues, and their intersection with economic, political, and human rights. Authors of the policy brief begin by stating that: "Where the Kenyan Constitution guarantees freedom of expression and of media, it allows us to assume that content – its creation, production, and dissemination – is fundamentally a human right? Besides gains made over time, "Our society has experienced great change but little transformation." *WHY?* "The content policy has leaned towards regulation." Here is a link to the brief https://bit.ly/3ieugoe We welcome your feedback.

by David Indeje 24 Jun '20

24 Jun '20

Listers, Something is being disccused online, initiated by Mr Boniface Mwangi: "There should be a law that anyone who receives mobile money by error and refuses to reverse the transaction should be banned from owning a mobile line. All mobile numbers are supposed to be registered using an ID and that persons ID should be flagged to never transact again." https://twitter.com/bonifacemwangi/status/1275659504647057411?s=19
