Dear members,
       As a matter of fact, as is the norm of our country, this could be misused in future for purposes, like suppressing freedom of speech by the cyber users.
     Also, especially with our nation rank in matters of corruption, Kenyans may view this as a form of control rather than genuine attempt to control or improve crime or safety.
    Notably, it's a positive move, that requires clear guidelines, regulations and involvement by all stakeholders.
