[kictanet] Will the Communications Authority of Kenya spy on Kenyans?

[Ali Hussein]

Thanks GG for sharing.

It's instructive that Walu's article, well written as it is leaves more questions than answers.

At the heart of this issue is this:-

Who can we trust more? The Government, through the CA or the operators? 

In the absence of a Data Protection law your guess is as good as mine...
