Interesting Ali,

I am yet to see anyone charged for being a nuisance. The City Council
call it in their bylaws being disorderly in the public.

Barrack, Grace and all

Non that I know of. The particular law mentioned doesn't really cover the

full spectrum of the problem which should also cover SMS (which I daresay

the telcos are the biggest culprits of sending unsolicited nuisance SMS

Blasts). The rule of thumb these days is an opt-in as opposed to opt-out

functionality.  Simply put, I mean that Telco X should stop sending me

unsolicited SMSs. Instead they should ask my permission first before sending

me SMSs that I have no interest in reading. It seems trivial but one day it

will come to bite them. Do we have laws to enforce this? Unfortunately not

that I know of. In other words this is called:-

PERMISSION MARKETING.

And when it comes to this we are in the dark ages..

Listers,

Does Kenya have an Anti Spam law?, can anyone familiar with the

present law point me to an area that deals with Spam or other

unsolicited communication?
