It's been 72hrs and Telegram is not currently available in Kenya unless you are using a VPN or proxy.
An article by Kictanet https://posts.kictanet.or.ke/tele-gone-telegram-down-is-it-an-internet-shutd... noted this same time last year.
Is it a coincidence?
Some say it's to STOP exam cheating, others say it's a show of the government's mighty power.
Partinet questions were asked on the article but since we did not get answers, it is back. No consequences. But I ask the same questions again.
"After Telegram, what else will be shut down? What will be the next excuse? What direction do we want to take as a country?"
What are your thoughts? -- *Thank you.*
