_______________________________________________Dear Listers,
In collaboration with Paradigm Initiative, CIPESA, and the Internet Society Kenya Chapter, we urge the Kenyan government to avoid implementing internet shutdowns or information controls in response to the ongoing #RejectFinanceBill2024 protests.
Such actions would violate Kenya's fundamental rights and freedoms and harm Kenya's economy, democracy, and international reputation. The #FinanceBill2024 has faced significant opposition, highlighting the importance of open communication.
We call on the government to uphold democratic values, engage transparently with demonstrators, and maintain open lines of communication to support Kenya's democratic and economic progress.
