Have you noticed an increase at the rate of data bundles been deplated at the same speed as the one Kasongo is traveling to sugoi with.
Now, the looting regime led by President William Ruto is planning to clamp down on social media...
Not by closing the social media apps , but by making data prices out of the reach of ordinary people.
Have you noted how both Safaricom PLC and Airtel Kenya have simultaneously downgraded their data offer packages.
Airtel watch was a little generous has reduced the ksh.1500 SMARTA package from 3GB daily to a 32GB package which is loaded once in your line.
They have also reduced the hourly packages from 1gb for ksh.15 to a mere 250mbs for ksh.15 which is being swallowed in a jiffy.
Now wait .. You thought you'd escape to WIFI which offers unlimited data for monthly packages?
Ruto is already targeting that through a Draconian Kenya Information and Communication (Amendment) Bill 2025 by Aldai M.P Maryann keitany
Once this bill is signed into law, it's going to take the country years back and roll back the success and milestones in affordable data , killing tens of thousands of jobs in the tech sector.
Keitany's bill proposes far reaching measures that are going to make WIFI data expensive..
Introduction of internet metre number to bill every subscriber.
There will be no unlimited data. You'll pay as per your consumption. They say you pay power or water.
Monitoring of internet usage by ISPs
The above Draconian measures points to a plan to curtail access to information to the public through the internet.
Ruto in his haste to clamp down on the internet will affect:
Businesses that used internet by increasing the cost of doing business.
Schools that offer online studies will increase the cost of courses.
Most businesses will fire staff to cut down on cost so as to survive.
Communication will be affected because the cost of data will be out of reach affecting decisions and the economy.
Access to information will be affected to a large portion of population who will not be able to to buy data.
All this is being done to clamp down on access to information as we go to an election year.
Ruto is fearing another Genz outrage which is fueled by information through social media. He thinks that by making data costly, majority of Kenyans including young people won't be a able to access information.
The Looting regime is taking us back to stone age , where we will be communicating through b smoke and beating of drums.
