[kictanet] Kenya IGF Online Discussions Day 1: Content Regulation on the Internet

Tue Jul 10 14:05:36 EAT 2018

@ Mildred, Governor Sonko recently asked Nairobi Matatus to self Regulate,
months down the line, the results are there for all of us to see. In the
absence of a National Value Framework, which was a critical component of
Vision 2030 (Not Sure if the Secretariat still exists), its every man or
woman  for himself.
