Greetings Listers,

Hope you are psyched up for today’s discussion on Internet Shutdowns especially during the election period. With such shutdowns, mobile communications, popular social networks among other forms of communication can be halted effectively crippling information exchange across the nation.

It is our desire that you share your aspirations, expectations, experience and suggestions with regard to Internet shutdowns:

a) Is there a real fear of this happening in Kenya?

b) Is there any legal basis if any (laws) that can legitimize such shutdowns?

c) What are the implications on the electoral process?

d) What options do the public have to access the Internet if shutdown happens?

Looking forward to your active participation.

Best regards,

Ronald Ojino
