The current Comunications Act covers such offenses and ought to be enforced to the max. I however, would like to propose that in the revision of the communications act higher penalties be placed upon those who deliberately damage or interfere with communications infrastructure of licensed operators.

There is much that ICT folk can do to assist with logistics, communications etc. I support the view that the Kictanet community focuses on that.
The other big problem is impunity on infrastructure destruction. If someone is captured pulling out railway lines, destroying telecommunication masts or digging trenches on highways, they should know that they will be held liable. If such messages were passed via sms by safaricom....then it will make it easy to contain this kind of wanton destruction at macro level.
