[kictanet] Govt to start phone tapping in war on counterfeit trade

Mon Feb 20 09:48:49 EAT 2017

Thought I should share this perspective with the listers...

Sent to me via FB inbox...

And I quote...

I thought it wise to share my views with you. Tapping and listening to
phone calls and reading messages may not be the main reason why the
government wants access...

The question we should be asking is... why now? Why during an election
year?...

My take is that.. someone wants to access the mobile phones that will be
sending tallied results from polling centres so that they can doctor them
before they reach IEBC. Kenyans should be vigilant on anything that happens
from now onwards... till election day...Be vigilant wherever you are!!
