[kictanet] Cyber Wing-Child Protection Unit

[Barrack Otieno]

Many thanks Lillian , Patrick and Senator Halake for your interesting
perspective to this conversation,

Patrick, i actually watched a BBC documentary last week highlighing how
Celebrities are misusing Instagram to Influence Youngsters to Consume
Alcohol and other substances that ought to be consumed by adults using
their Social Media Influence. A British lady had actually taken it upon
herself to write to some of the Celebrities whom i will not name here but
who took down the posts in question.

I watched the launch of the centre on KTN and wished in addition to our
friends from Britain who graciously launched the initiative we could have
had some local experts like Lillian from Watoto Watch who has been doing a
lot in the space, someone from CA as well as someone from DCI preferably
bwana Kinoti. I think optics are very important to common mwanainchi since
some of them get lost as soon as there is a change in accent and forget the
gist of the matter.

Best Regards
