Let us debate on the notion of "bread" 🍞 alone.
We all know lack of a balanced diet brings kwashiorkor. And it brings stunted growth too. Forget zika virus, normal children in Africa get smaller brains because of the stunted growth.
Take that analogy and compare it to the malnutritioned internet being paraded around. Out children too will develop intellectual Kwashiorkor

The CS is definitely entitled to his opinion. Like all of us. My concern is of course that his opinion can be construed to be Government Policy. And Net Neutrality cannot be distilled in such a simplistic way.
I think it's high time this country and the rest of Africa have a deep conversation about what Net Neutrality means for us.
Take for example the issue of KFCB the other day when the CEO announced that they have asked Google to take down the 'offending' video of same sex marriage/love endorsement.
I was astounded that the whole discussion degenerated to the issue of homosexuality!!
My questions and concerns were quite clear and they alluded to our total lack of policy regarding Net Neutrality. And address in an ICT Forum.
KFCB used the right tools to ask for the video take down. The same tools have been used by other governments.
With all due respect to the CS but I think he needs to be careful not to simplify this important matter. Let's discuss it fully and come up with our own Net Neutrality version. This definitely doesn't include abdicating our responsibilities as a country to global internet companies. This will be a recipe for disaster.

This is at least the second piece citing the CS' point of view.
It might be in order to write a letter to him explaining why it is not a first world problem.
