Interesting Ali. And like you, I do hope that the DG
was misquoted. Is CCK website hosted locally?

The
Communications Commission of Kenya has proposed a licensing
condition that may compel Internet service providers (ISPs) to
bring websites hosted offshore back to the country in the fight
against cyber crime...
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??
