I do get your message. But your language might be considered too strong by @BlackAfrican standard and folks may take offense. Check Ali's post on the same - same message, different words :-)
That said, I think the King @CCK has been caught "naked". Maybe the planned regulation is to make ALL GOVERNMENT data local (which is within the government/regulatory scope to make the call). Or maybe he was misquoted, or maybe I might be trying to hard to do the PR job for CCK...
@Wambua, you have off late gone completely underground?
walu.
nb: the benefit of local hosting within the context of cybersecurity was argued on a 1-on-1 between me and Sammy B and we came to some consensus :- that local hosting does give local enforcement (police, prosecution, judiciary) some teeth...and by extension this in itself can act as deterrent against would-be cybercriminals.
I however dont think that this should lead to a decree that everyone MUST host locally because then I will have to give up my jwalu@yahoo.com mail account to avoid hosting my mails abroad :-)

This is the kind of
stupidity that makes you wonder if the people dealing with
the internet regulations and policy at CCK even know what
the internet is.

How does hosting sites locally mitigated against
cybercrime?
What business does anyone have dictating to me
where i can and can't host my websites?

I sincerely hope that the DG was
somehow misquoted on this story. Whilst its a good idea to
host sites locally this in no way stops cybercrime or
mitigates it. Infact with the rudimentary security
infrastructure most providers have I will be loath to host
any site locally leave alone an Ecommerce one
locally.
Can government please focus on
legislation and regulation instead of butting into my
business and telling me where I should host my website??
