The Kenya film clasification board and Netflix
by Kevin Omondi 21 Jan '16

21 Jan '16

So I just came across the article below from Nairobinews. Who advises the guys at the KFCB - Its like saying that Instagram needs to apply because kids can access nudes of Vera Sidika. SMH The Kenya Film Classification Board has said that Netflix, an American based video-streaming service, is operating in Kenya illegally. Mr Jackson Kosgey, the chairman of the board says, on Wednesday said the company did not seek license from the board before it started streaming two weeks ago. According to the board, Netflix is a threat to Kenya’s national security due the kind of content it is streaming. He said that the California-based firm has been streaming movies it claims are meant for audiences younger than 13 years but which are full of violence, drugs and pornography and with the potential to radicalise children. “If it has to operate in Kenya, let it conform with our regulations and Cap 222,”said Mr Kosgey.

LOL..In the first place this is a very week argument from this joke of a board. Netflix did not come to Kenya they just opened up. Rather they just removed the location restriction for anybody that wants to access the service to be able to. They have no infrastructure in Kenya or doing something special or tailored to the Kenyan market hence we cannot say “They came to Kenya without consent”….lol > On Jan 21, 2016, at 6:13 PM, skunkworks-request(a)lists.my.co.ke wrote: > > Send skunkworks mailing list submissions to > skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > skunkworks-request(a)lists.my.co.ke > > You can reach the person managing the list at > skunkworks-owner(a)lists.my.co.ke > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of skunkworks digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Skunks, I have two servers HP Proliant DL 380 G7 and G8 whose 3 year warranty expired last December. I am looking to renew the same with authorised HP reseller. Our current service provider sent me a quote to a tune of USD 15K for one year and I find this to be over the roof. With this I can get two servers with 3 year warranty each. Any reasonable leads will be appreciated. Regards, Peter Mugoh
