[kictanet] Securing the fibre

[robert yawe]

Hi Listers,

I recently sat in a meeting that was looking into ways to deal with the sabotage 
of fibre optic and copper cable and was concerned by the emphasis of having new 
laws enacted to deal with the issue.

If you went to Kenyatta National Hospital and stole the pipe that supplies 
oxygen to the ICU section during that then resulted in the death of a number of 
patients plus the deterioration of the condition of others, what would I be 
charged with?  

Would it be murder, attempted murder or theft of a gas pipe?  

Your response to this question will better explain why we charge those accused 
with vandalising data and power cables under the scrap metals act.

It is my believe that the existing laws are sufficient to handle the issue and 
act as a deterrent, I have attached my thoughts for your input and critic.
