Your Tweet, My Right. Can a Public Figure block you from Accessing their Tweets?
Listers, A very interesting read by Tevin Mwenda, Can social media accounts of public officials in Kenya be construed to be channels that can be used by the public to access information from their elected leaders and other public leaders regarding them? Are those public officials allowed to block someone from accessing them when they use the same channels to interact with citizens? Full article here: https://www.kictanet.or.ke/?p=40802 -- Best regards. Liz. PGP ID: 0x1F3488BF
In total agreement with the views expressed. If any case similar to the one filed by the FAC against President Trump was to find its way to the Kenyan Courts, I see them ruling in a like manner as the American Court since that is what a proper interpretation of Art. 35 of the Constitution and Sec. 5 of the Access to Information Act calls for.

The social media has become today's *baraza. *A public figure cannot stop a citizen from attending a *baraza*. When a person accepts a public appointment elected or otherwise, his opinions on matters affecting the people sieze to be a private affair thus blocking one from accessing social media posts is as unacceptable as forcing earmuffs on a person attending a *baraza. * I pray the Kenyan courts will see it as it should be!

Interesting Liz. From where I seat the answer is an emphatic yes! I however, fear that we then must take our public officials through an intensive course of Social and Online Etiquette. One great benchmark is Chief Kariuki of Nakuru. He has taken the use of Social Media to serve citizens to another level.

Thank you for the link Liz. It's also encouraging to see public figures like Chief Francis made good use of social media. @GG thank you for the head's up on tomorrow's program.

Dear Listers, Thank you for the positive feedback on the article and the suggestions on how to go about implementing it. Grace looking forward to hearing Chief Kariuki and perhaps you may ask him his take on this matter.
