[kictanet] [isoc_ke] Telecoms regulator seeks powers to spy on consumers - Another case of Silly Season or should we be concerned?

[Walubengo J]

@Ali,

Funny, I have not come across these proposed regulations - and I often consider myself to take more than a "pedestrian" interest in this sector.  I have also checked  the regulators site but dont see the specific proposals 

@ http://www.ca.go.ke/index.php/public-consultations

Anyone with a copy of the contentious proposals?

KBy the way, KICTAnet has a list of about 750 ICT individuals of diverse interest groups(Academia, Media, Technical, Operator,  Consumer,etc). One begins to wonder if it is by design or otherwise, that the regulator, the ministry and other government agencies have in recent times conveniently chose to ignore sending (FREE) alerts on this forum. 

Put differently, there must be "other" ICT stakeholders government is engaging and we may need to be told so that we also "vuka"/go there accordingly :-).

walu.

 ListersApologies for
 cross-posting.Kenya’s telecommunication sector regulator is
 seeking fresh powers to spy on consumers that could see
 users of voice and data services lose their privacy to State
 and security agencies without their knowledge.Read on:-http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Corporate-News/Telecoms-regulator-seeks-fresh-powers-to-spy-on-consumers-/-/539550/2520540/-/item/0/-/97lpmyz/-/index.htmlAli Hussein
