Dear Barrack,

Define 'harass them" sometimes the same people who are accountable to the citizens have blocked people from making "hard"  inquiries. I think public figures need not block people for making honest inquiries and if they amount to harassment, we have laws in place to deal with that. 

Kind Regards,

David Indeje

Many thanks Egline, i stand to be corrected but the law views institutions as corporate citizens, i bet they have a right to block people who harass them. I wonder what the learned friends on the list would say.

Regards

Hi Barrack,

Interesting conversation. In this context the deleted account was a personal account and not the ministry's account. As much as in they were posting day to day activities, it was a personal account and the Ministry account with previous activities and information is till active. 

Next question arising from the comments on the Tweet would then be, with the Twitter accounts that are public property is it right to block citizens?

Hi Barrack,
I feel we might be a bit petty because...Is it a requirement in the first place to have a personal social media account if you are holding a particular position in Govt?

Listers,

An interesting conversation is going on on Social Media following the decision by a Cabinet Secretariat to delete his Social Media Account. In fact a Senior Counsel has already weighed in on the issue. Is there merit in the concerns being raised or are we being petty?

Thank you

Best Regards
