[kictanet] CCK releases proposed guidelines for political messages

[Grace Mutung'u (Bomu)]

This is interesting, coming after we discussed intermediary liability at
Kenya IGF.

Does anyone have a link to the actual draft guidelines?

While we need some accountability, 48 hours may be too long a period to
wait for a go ahead in the political world.

But more fundamentally, will content providers police SMS under these
guidelines?
