Listers,

This article is worth reading as we head towards the elections.

To Quote:

"...Kenya, having a more sophisticated leadership, can encroach on Internet freedoms in more subtle ways than many other African countries can.

In other words, Kenyan authorities are unlikely to orchestrate a countrywide Internet shutdown like what typically happens in Uganda or Zimbabwe. 

However, they can achieve the same effect by shutting down selected zones of the country as and when they deem it necessary"
