Yes Walu, this might be the thinking of the executive, but if we get enough critical mass rejecting the bill, or proposing amendments, we can still petition the government to consider the stance. We can actually go to court and justify that the laws are unconstitutional and they were hurriedly debated to pass them without proper consultations. How do you have a public discussion for one day of a bill that s not even publicly available? ______________________ Mwendwa Kivuva, Nairobi, Kenya "There are some men who lift the age they inhabit, till all men walk on higher ground in that lifetime." - Maxwell Anderson
Mwendwa, I have looked the bill; I look going to court is a better option it was change the way innovation and creativity is done. ICT progress will be curtailed by the lack of critical interrogation and open discussion regarding violence, terrorism and use of IT tools/ Methods On Thu, Dec 11, 2014 at 3:12 PM, Mwendwa Kivuva via isoc < isoc@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:
