Re: [kictanet] Kenya's recent content regulation proposal
Hi everyone, I wanted to share an OP-ED that Ephraim and myself wrote and which was published in yesterday's edition of the Star newspaper looking at Kenya's recent content regulation proposal.

Dear Sigi, The insights shared in your article together with Kenyanito are very invaluable.
