<p class=MsoNormal>I totally agree with you. I think to answer Dr.
Ndemo's question, why not classify the fiber optic infrastructure as
"Critical National Communication Infrastructure" and make
vandalism a capital offence without the option of a fine. in the same
vein, IP network providers should work together to defend the infrastructure as
one entity and jointly safeguard the multi-billion shilling investment instead
of fighting media wars for individual benefit.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>A joint national anti-vandalism education campaign
would be a good start. Not all fiber vandals in the rural and urban areas
understand the risk of their actions, especially since they don't see how the
fiber crossing their village is benefiting them directly. For all
they know, it only serves the rich people living in the towns where the fiber
is heading. Villagers need to own the fiber. How?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>1. By fiber companies ensuring that there are digital
centres in the villages where the fiber is passing for villagers to see its
benefits (just like power cables;cut power cables in village= no
power=darkness,no TV=no development).<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>2. Establishing a fiber police unit!<o:p></o:p></p>

The Kenya Communications (Amendment) Act says any person found guilty of cable
vandalism is liable to five-year jail term or a fine of Sh1 million.<o:p></o:p></p>
