I however, fear that we then must take our public officials through an
intensive course of Social and Online Etiquette.


One great benchmark is Chief Kariuki of Nakuru. He has taken the use
of Social Media to serve citizens to another level.

Listers,


A very interesting read by Tevin Mwenda, 


Can social media accounts of public officials in Kenya be construed to
be channels that can be used by the public to access information from
their elected leaders and other public leaders regarding them? 

Are those public officials allowed to block someone from accessing
them when they use the same channels to interact with citizens?
