😂😂😂 You have to laugh at the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Digital Economy under CS William Kabogo Gitau and PS Eng. John Tanui.

Before attempting to police trillion-dollar AI companies, perhaps the ICT ministry should first build the technical capacity, legal expertise and enforcement systems needed to effectively regulate the digital ecosystem already within its own borders.
