[kictanet] Legalizing Phone Tapping in Kenya?

Fri Sep 30 09:49:17 EAT 2011

Hi Edith 

As  a country , we set the standard in August last year  in the new
constitution  and especially in the context of the bill of rig

Does this bill conform to the constitution - we need to   see the bill 

Who could share  soft copy of the bill ?

In the newspaper article, the bill referred to is called the "National
Intelligence Services Bill" - what role can the ICT industry play to inform
this bill that is touching on an ICT issue (privacy in the digital
environment? etc). A key issue in the current IGF debate!

Dear Edith,

Thank you for setting the ball rolling, in the absence of a framework on
Freedom of Information we are likely to experience such issues, well
Ministry of Infocom has done well but if my memory is still ok i recall the
issue was somewhere in bunge, i wonder what Eng Rege has to say about that,
of late so many bills have been going through, i hope the Information
Society is not being left behind.

Best Regards

Listers,

Many of us may have missed the front page news in the nation newspapers
yesterday given the flurry of activities at the IGF.

This idea poses many questions - is this the way to go? What are the
implications? etc etc.

Coming at the time when Kenya is hosting the IGF begs for a debate and deep
reflection as a country.

Can we have a public debate on this and inform the draft bill? The public
hardly has the opportunity to debate bills that make their way to parliament
(despite the new constitution enshrining this as a requirement - or is it a
right?). I indeed hope this time it will be different given the over 20
million mobile users in Kenya - they have a stake in this.

Look forward to reactions.

Edith
