Hi, I ask, if the operators of the Internet gateways decided to install a filter to delete all mail originating from .ke addresses would my raising this issue qualify as an IT issue? BBC is selectively removing content relating to interviews of government friendly people from their web site, you decide whether my query does qualify as an IT issue, if not then I apologise to all but if it is please be man enough and apologize. In a way this should be a wakeup call to us to look into storing content locally otherwise we are at the mercy of the rest of the world who will decide what information we can make available online. Let the ICT policy makers look seriously at this issue, the sooner we setup data centers to make our messages available to the international community the safer for us all.

Robert,

Please DO NOT use derogatory language against Hon. Martha Karua.

She a sign of women leadership which is characteristically lacking in this country.

Could you please apologize to the women of this country. Men have significantly failed us in leadership in this country and we cannot

What was so derogatory about what Bobby said? If there was anything, then I believe it wasn't intentional. Prepending "phobia" to names in Kenya has never been derogatory though. It's sort of a culture that has taken roots in Kenya when there are political inclinations associated with an individual. Now, that, to me, is not derogatory.
