Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Mildred Achoch. I am a blogger, screenwriter, freelance writer and the founder of ROFFEKE (Rock 'n' Roll Film Festival, Kenya).I would like to participate in this digital security training so as to increase my knowledge about my rights as a blogger, especially in the face of the harrasment and arrest of bloggers in Kenya plus existence of documents such as the proposed film bill of 2016. I am particularly interested in legal and ethical environments along online expression. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Mildred Achoch.

Greetings Liz et al., This training comes at a very critical time and it would be great for many to attend especially after the recent posts attributed to KPMDU's sec general that were made years ago currently being purported to have been posted hours ago..A rise of such cases will arise especially as we head to the general elections.
