[kictanet] Digital Saba Saba Wish List: holds them accountable!

Wed Jul 11 12:06:54 EAT 2007

You're welcome Judy,

private anti-raid security? I have no problems with
internationally acceptable emergencies and life-saving
situations, BUT "in the interest of public safety and
tranquility" 

Who determines what tranquility/when "tranquilizers"
are not working, and does safety mean censoring some
e-content as well? Is it usual for separate minister

"On the declaration of any public emergency or in the
interest of public safety and tranquility, the
Minister for the time being responsible for internal
security may, by order in writing direct-

(a) any officer duly authorised in that behalf to take
temporary possession of any telecommunication
apparatus or any radio communication station or
apparatus within Kenya, and
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e) (i) & (ii)
