        <br>
        This is an invitation to a discussion on intermediary liability
        in Kenya
        starting tomorrow Tuesday 2nd October 2012, which will be
        followed by a breakfast meeting on 10th October at jacaranda
        hotel. </span></p>
    <p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">See attached the initial
        findings of the
        study on Intermediary Liability in Kenya. We welcome comments.
        Please note that this initial report
        is a forthcoming publication, and it should not be cited
        publicly until November,
        when the final report will be made available.</span></p>
    <p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The study notes that there
        is a lack of a
        clear framework for liability of intermediaries and a lot of
        uncertainty in
        understanding our evolving post-constitution legislative
        environment particularly
        in "regards to what offenses may happen on communications
        networks and
        whether intermediaries would be liable or not, this may have
        contributed to
        caution and self-regulation. <br>
        <br>
        In addition, there seems to be no legislated take down
        procedures other than
        responding in court to whichever law was cited as broken.   Do
        we
        need a </span><span style="" lang="EN-US">"clear

        <br>
        We would like to encourage policy discussions on these issues
