[kictanet] The Kenya Information and Communication (Amendment) Bill, 2019 - No. 61 of 2019 (Malulu Injendi Bill)

[Adam Lane]

what's the definition of a group... anything of 2 or more? does it matter if a group only exists for a few days? 20m + Kenyans online, I'm guessing about 100m groups (not double counting) to register!

What if we just ask someone who's not resident in Kenya to start a Whatsapp group and  be the solo admin? Will CA still need to clear them?
Oh, and what if we decide to use a Telegram group or Microsoft Teams or Skype or Microsoft Kaizala ?? Those too will require clearance by CA?

Salim, please clarify why clearance is essential?
Like meeting over coffee now requires clearance?

Dear All,

I think this clearance for Group Admins is very essential.

We approve too much unjustifiable info to the society.

On this note, I think it is high time that we started looking at issue and put up measures before we get hit by such bills and start fire fighting.
