In my search online for mentions of the launch event, all I could come up with is
http://www.humanipo.com/blog/2926/Kenyan-chapter-of-Internet-Society-launches-this-week
Author Kamau Mbote is to be commended in covering the event, however the article is somewhat mis-informative..
1) It lists IS as the acronym for the Internet Society.
2) It says "a global lobby group advocating Internet freedoms, is opening an office in Kenya this week" = not entirely accurate.
3) It doesn't make clear the relationship of George Kithi to ISOC-KE (and the link to the story is messed up - it is
here ) while implying controversial statements are ISOC-KE policy.
4) It concludes- "Kenya joins the 193 Internation Telecommunications Union (ITU) member states in having an IS presence." - which is just plain nonsense!
Perhaps someone could contact Mr. Mobote and set him straight?
