[kictanet] BAKE condemns the arrest and intimidation of Kenyans online

Tue Jan 26 20:49:41 EAT 2016

@AliDoes free speech eliminate consequences? And considering that online platforms are contested spaces with multiple users, do we need to find a balance? #Just asking.

Hi Ali,
No I don't mean to support any harassment, I was simply urging BAKE to encourage responsible blogging. This I believe would be good for all bloggers.

With all due respect. 
That sort of blanket condemnation of bloggers is music to the ears of the reactionaries in government. Granted, there are some bad apples. These bad apples sort of remind us of the 'Mad Men' in our villages of yesteryears. How did we used to deal with them? Just because we disagree with someone doesn't mean we harass them and throw them in jail? We need to be careful we don't slide back to the bad old days of Kanu.
Let the law be specific enough to ensure it is not misused to muzzle free speech and association.Ali

But the government has a role in this. I don't know if it's been done in the right way. But we have some very irresponsible bloggers out there. I think you also know them as BAKE. Can you please tell us how you are dealing with such bloggers.

Dear Listers

This is a quick note to thank those of you who attended the cocktail this last Friday to meet with our new CS and the two PSs and present the wishlist attached.

It was a great opportunity and the fact that so many of your wanted to ask questions means we need to continuously talk to our leaders, and agree on how to continue developing the sector for the good of this nation.

We will in due course share the plans for the next steps.

Have a great week.

RgdsGG for the organizing team (Grace B, Liz Orembo, Barrack,Kivuva,Kapiyo, Walu and Ali)
