[kictanet] Poghisio Flouting The Law in The CCK Tussle-by DMakali

Wed Apr 20 09:52:38 EAT 2011

Francis, you are spot on. Whereas we are all busy trying to see if the Minister has breached the law (which is on order), we are not interrogating the actions of the Board, thus giving the impression the minister is wrong and the Board is right. Was the Board's decision influenced externally? Was it a one-time appraisal or has there been continuous (annual?) appraisals and what were the scores?

Regards,
Jotham

Thanks MM.  In many senses your email and the link in reference to an objective view of the issue, open up space for fresh discussions  about which media can really lay claim to being part of the fourth estate.     I feel BD has legitimate claim to that for their objectivity and  independence. 

And I really hope such deliberations can feed into discussions that try to define what "independent" really means - such that "independent" excludes the ability to pander to certain interests and not any licence that amounts to impartial treatment of issues.

Tuesday, 19 April 2011 00:04 BY DAVID MAKALI  A little over a week ago, Information and Communications minister Samuel Poghisio called a press conference to announce that he had revoked the suspension of the director general of the Communications Commission of Kenya.“For the avoidance of doubt, I wish to state that Charles Njoroge remains in office and that as the appointing authority I will proceed to renew his contract in line with the law,” he stated.
 The minister’s intervention may have seemed timely and proper. Given the infighting that had become the order of the day at the CCK between the board of directors (or some) and the director-general, some form of external intervention was necessary to establish order.
However, questions still linger over what exactly the minister did, if it was legal, and if it is in the interest of the general telecommunications sector and the public in general. At the time of this writing, his re-appointment or otherwise had not been gazetted.
