I  downloaded the bill @ http://www.information.go.ke/docs/DRAFT%20ICT%20BILL%202008.pdf

but failed to see the contentious clause on raiding media houses ( could i be reading an older version?)

What interested me however (and Skunkers?) was the clause on hacking - it is now extremely expensive to hack into a system:-300,000Ksh penalty and/or three years in prison. 

But it may be too soon to worry - I doubt if our capacity to investigate, collect & preserve digital evidence as well as succesfully prosecute eCrime will be upto the task...I mean last I heard was a learned friend (and many other highly qualified professionals) thinking that a digital signature was a scanned handwritten signature :-(!
