The Kenya Information and Communication (Amendment) Bill, 2019 – No. 61 of 2019 (Malulu Injendi Bill)

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?
