<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>In the last few weeks there has
been an outcry over increasing in disruption of networks with some of the
affected firms pointing to industrial sabotage.<br>
<br>
Safaricom was the first this week to claim “acts of sabotage” on
the disruption of its network. The Orange the next day arrested some cable vandals
and attributed it to suspected sabotage.<br>
<br>
This Friday (today) Seacom fibre cable went offline for about four hours, they
said this was due to cuts on KDN fibre around Voi. <br>
<br>
Is this 'sabotage' real or imagined?<br>
