Agree entirely with Ali.
Good governance requires transparency, communication, clear explanation. Otherwise people doubt your intentions and competence, however good. And that doesn't augur well for the industry/society.

Listers
My concerns are as follows:-
1. The government should exercise transparency and issue a statement outlining the measures it is using to curb cheating in exams. This includes blocking Telegram, etc. 2. The Players in the Telecom Sector, through their official Lobby Group, TESPOK, should also issue a statement confirming or denying that the government has ordered them to institute this blockade of Internet Services, specifically Telegram. Why not WhatsApp and other platforms? 3. Tespok should further tell the public how many times its members have received these government orders and whether they have complied with them.
The above measures will go a long way to allay fears and build confidence in how the Government uses its powers to protect its citizens.

As the Defo's (devil) advocate, I have these questions: 1. Do we support the government's efforts to curb Exam cheating? 2. Do we allow the government to use every way possible to achieve (1) above? For me, I suppose (2) is agreeable.
We all know that the govt has the ability, legal or otherwise, to effect censorship of the Internet. In this case, only Mobile Network Operators were directed to do the 'censorship'. Zuku, Liquid Telecom, China Telecom, etc were left out. I saw a letter from the CA (I can't attest to its authenticity) that purportedly gave this directive. I think in such a case where the govt is open about the censorship, it should not be an issue, no?

It's been 72hrs and Telegram is not currently available in Kenya unless you are using a VPN or proxy.
An article by Kictanet https://posts.kictanet.or.ke/tele-gone-telegram-down-is-it-an-internet-shutd... noted this same time last year.
Is it a coincidence?
Some say it's to STOP exam cheating, others say it's a show of the government's mighty power.
Partinet questions were asked on the article but since we did not get answers, it is back. No consequences. But I ask the same questions again.
"After Telegram, what else will be shut down? What will be the next excuse? What direction do we want to take as a country?"
What are your thoughts? -- *Thank you.*
