I find it interesting that regulation is the default reaction to most problems.

I'd like Bwana Ochuodho to explain how to regulate that people stop begin Arsenal/Manchester fans and start becoming Tusker FC / Sofapaka fans. I'd give money to look at that particular legislation

Let us treat diseases and not symptoms. One sided regulation (i.e. government) assumes the government is benevolent, unobjective, just and does not have vested interests.

I'm sorry to say that no matter how one stretches the imagination such a definition unfortunately does not apply to our government.

If we say the govt to control all that, our media, blogs, etc nothing
will come up that hidden by corrupt individuals, and we will be
colonized til we all go live underground.

@Chuks, I read that blog and am confused with what the writer is saying. Rwanda and Kenya are two different countries. And animosity in Rwanda is well documented between the communities was sown by the colonial powers which were used to trigger events years later. Rwanda has a very sick chapter that it cannot and must not forget. Kenya's biggest problem is lack of agricultural land and un-employed youth who lack a chance at life. Which laws are going to fix these problems at the ground level ?

 

Difficult questions ......

 

Me very amatuer thots.
