"I have learnt from Twitter updates by activist Boniface Mwangi that some of his compatriots were arrested and maltreated over the weekend for taking photographs of Jomo Kenyatta’s Mausoleum at Parliament buildings. What is this obsession with ‘No Photography’, ‘No Entry’ rules that serve absolutely no security imperative? I have been to Kwame Nkrumah’s a burial place in Accra where I posed for photographs right inside what is a major tourist attraction. When I visited our State House not too ago, the most prominent signboard on approach is that ‘No Photography’ sign. But go to the White House in Washington DC, 10 Downing Street in London, The Kremlin in Moscow and the Great Hall of the People by Tiananmen Square in Beijing; and far from photography being banned, it is encouraged. All those places are magnets for millions of tourists, and even offer guided tours within their hallowed precincts.
