[kictanet] calling media

[joseph kihanya]

Dear Becky,

I hear you.

The FOI  is sometimes viewed as an elitist right  That only journalists and scientists/researchers are to use it) 

However, consisder  a situation today if you were not allowed to ask questions and  get answers BY RIGHT ( as published  by government in the daily papers in the last two weeks on the RVF in Kenya)? 

Remember the controversy on the spread of SARS.....in the Far East...was a lack of info not a key issue?

This is how basic this right when enacted would entail..... proactive publication in the public interest.

More views please.

Kihanya
