Listers,
As at 1300 hours Dr. Ezekiel Mutua (albeit under coercive pressure from the stakeholders), unequivocally stated that the draft proposed bill was done away with during today's stakeholder meeting.
The way forward as resolved at the meeting is to develop a new policy framework on which industry legislation can be founded on, to review the Proposed 2012 Films Bill as well as review and possible amendment of the current statute Cap 222.

Dear Listers,
Apologies if this has been shared before. I would like to bring your attention to this bill... http://kfcb.co.ke/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/DRAFT-BILL-KFCB -21-7-Draft-10.pdf In particular to chapter 39 which specifically refers to Internet Service Providers. I think in their zeal to create a solution where no problem exists they are forcibly trying to provide service providers into being enforcers of said bill. This would at worst mean Forced DPI on the service providers end, which I might argue is an infringement on privacy: a fundamental right, yes?
