Kenya's Communications Authority orders Telegram suspension during KCSE exams to prevent cheating.

The Communications Authority of Kenya has directed internet providers to suspend Telegram during the KCSE exams due to concerns over cheating. This restriction, active daily from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. until November 22, 2024, has drawn criticism for its lack of transparency, especially as only a few cheating incidents have been reported. Businesses relying on Telegram are also affected, resulting in significant economic losses.
