Urgent: Call to Preserve Digital Rights During #RejectFinanceBill2024 Protests.

Dear Listers,

In collaboration with Paradigm Initiative, CIPESA, and the Internet Society
Kenya Chapter, we urge the Kenyan government to avoid implementing internet
shutdowns or information controls in response to the ongoing
#RejectFinanceBill2024 protests.

Such actions would violate Kenya’s fundamental rights and freedoms and harm
Kenya’s economy, democracy, and international reputation. The
#FinanceBill2024 has faced significant opposition, highlighting the
importance of open communication.

We call on the government to uphold democratic values, engage transparently
with demonstrators, and maintain open lines of communication to support
Kenya’s democratic and economic progress.
