Hi Ali,
No I don't mean to support any harassment, I was simply urging BAKE to encourage responsible blogging. This I believe would be good for all bloggers.
Best, Muthoni

With all due respect.
That sort of blanket condemnation of bloggers is music to the ears of the reactionaries in government. Granted, there are some bad apples. These bad apples sort of remind us of the 'Mad Men' in our villages of yesteryears. How did we used to deal with them? Just because we disagree with someone doesn't mean we harass them and throw them in jail? We need to be careful we don't slide back to the bad old days of Kanu.
Let the law be specific enough to ensure it is not misused to muzzle free speech and association.

But we have some very irresponsible bloggers out there. I think you also know them as BAKE. Can you please tell us how you are dealing with such bloggers.
