I hope these new allegations are not true but I found some interesting research posted in 2013 on University of Toronto's Citizenlab Project. https://citizenlab.org/2013/01/appendix-a-summary-analysis-of-blue-coat-coun... A: Summary Analysis of Blue Coat “Countries of Interest”* January 15, 2013* ​" *Kenya*- There were three PacketShaper installations found in Kenya during research. All three were initially identified by Shodan in December 2012 and were verified as accessible. These were on netblocks associated with Hughes Network Systems, which is a satellite-based Internet provider. The hostnames of the IP addresses of these installations resolve to the iWayAfrica domain, which is an African provider of broadband Internet service. In 2012, it was reported that the Communications Commission of Kenya was implementing a system to monitor incoming and outgoing traffic on the country’s networks, including personal e-mails, in order to respond to potential cyber threats. Mobile operators were instructed to cooperate in the installation of Internet traffic monitoring equipment known as Network Early Warning Systems."

The lawyers have the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), the engineers have the Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK) the doctors have the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentist Board, the media professionals have the Media Council of Kenya while the accountants have ICPAK. But who speaks for the ICT professionals in Kenya?
