B. 
Can employees speak out against their bosses? 

Yes, this can happen.

Jack, Twitter boss drew the line on what is factual or not factual information. But in the other end, Micheal, FB chief executive  thought otherwise. His employees have taken a step of speaking out publicly against their boss.

Who misses Kenyan politicians rushing to courts to be heard before Wanjiku has been served?

There is great transformation within Kenya's Judiciary, for instance, the Court of Appeal will hear 185 appeals and applications this month via virtual means.  To see how the 3rd arm of government is fairing visit their twitter page @Kenyajudiciary

Updates :

The Computer Misuse and Cybercrines Act was heard this weak at Court of Appeal. A good step so to speak. The court will give directions on July 31 if some sections will be suspended until the appeal is heard and determined.
