Good evening Minister. Is it not makakandwa ku deep end? Madii kukumbira kuchinjwa ministry. I think you can be very useful somewhere else, ICT is not everyone, you included. Can you not kindly ask HE to assign you somewhere because ha, you have been misfiring from day one. I personally feel sorry for you but be honest with your boss and admit that you can’t cope.08/11/24
Subject: Concern about $50 License Fee for WhatsApp Group Admins
Dear Honourable Minister of ICT,
I am writing to express my concern about the recent introduction of a $50 license fee for WhatsApp group administrators. While I understand the need for regulation and revenue generation, I believe this fee may have unintended consequences that could negatively impact the digital community and economy.
I would like to request clarification on the following:
1. The rationale behind the introduction of this fee
2. The criteria for determining which WhatsApp groups are required to pay the fee
3. The process for obtaining the license and the required documentation
4. The consequences for non-compliance
5. The measures in place to ensure the fee is not misused or exploited
Additionally, I would like to request that the ministry consider the potential impact on:
1. Freedom of expression and assembly
2. Small businesses and entrepreneurs who rely on WhatsApp groups for communication and marketing
3. Non-profit organizations and community groups who use WhatsApp for coordination and outreach
I would appreciate it if you could provide a detailed response to these questions and concerns. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Mai Khloé
